I finally test drove the X3MC today....and I'm impressed. Coming out of a 2017 X5M. This new engine is potent enough. This feels as fast as X5M (imo) perhaps only in the mind. 567HP, 553lb-ft torque vs 503HP, 442lb-ft clearly a difference; but the real world feel isn't that big of a difference to me.
As an everyday driver this feels lighter and less bulky which I'm looking for yet still lightening fast. Faster than most vehicles on the road. I had to ask do I need any more HP? Nah. At some point it becomes excessive power that can't be accessed on everyday drives. I will never track this vehicle, so.....to each his/her own.
The only disappointment was no alcantara headliner. The bump in the trunk for the spare didn't bother me.
Styling is classy and modern but not cutting edge like a Macan or other brands. The seats were comfortable and supportive. The ride quality was firm and sure footed. The tech is outstanding. I'll be ordering ALPINE WHITE w/Sahkir Orange Extended Merino. Finally a payment of $975 w/tax is far better than $1360/tax...
Good luck all.
