I would suggest the X6

My wife and I drove all Cayenne (V8 models) and X6 M60i. X6 M60i is so much better as a nearly perfect blend of performance and comfort at a price which suggests great value. Even if Cayenne were equivalently priced, X6 M60i would still be our choice.

I'm curious to see what they do with the next X5. I'm hoping they don't ruin the interior like they did with the new X3.

Whether it’s premium materials or not is yet to be seen. But it will 100% be an iPad on wheels without an Idrive controller. That part sucks

My wife and I took the new 2025 X3 M50 for a long test drive. In short - excellent driving dynamics. But the interior leaves to be desired. The exterior did not appeal to my wife either. X6 M
- instant appreciation after the test drive of X3.

X3 is better suited for a 3-year lease and perhaps that's what BMW wants as well.
