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. Good luck all.

Next week is my chance to test drive the X3MC and I'm curious how it compares to my 2018 X5M. However, I'm not sure it will be enough for me to sell the X5M. |
It's a difference of weight is how I felt about it. I do feel like the brakes will be better on the X3MC. The brakes on the X5M were squeaky ASF. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
