The F80 would likely get some cosmetic upgrades, MP exhaust, Bootmod3 it's tune. As a side gig I run one of the roll-racing events at Pocono, so the Porsche is perfect for top speed, I'm really leaning to the F80 as a daily that more fun than a Range Rover.
I do not like the C63, RS3, S4, Quadrafolio, etc. So if the F80 doesn't work, then I'd like just wait a bit longer and look for an X5M.

You might be a bit annoyed with the F80 platform - it's quite noisy in the cabin. Just seems like it's quite hard-core. I don't mind it, but we have pretty good roads and I don't drive far.
Compared to our Macan with air-suspension, it's really noisy and seems un-refined.
I drove an E46 back to back with my F83 and the E46 felt like a newer car - less noise and it seemed like it had less Noise Vibration & Harshness. BMW have made it intentionally a very hard-core platform.
You might be better off with a 550 or 440 if you have to take clients around. |

Or you might not be - I drive the F80 ZCP as a DD all year round (Sport + throttle, suspension, S2 drivelogic, MDM and Comfort steering my preferred settings) and shuttle passengers all the time - yes - it is sportier but not to the point where it is uncomfortable or unpleasant - one can always dial it down to comfort settings all around and it is completely fine.
I suggest you try to get a test drive and see for yourself - the "correct" answer is purely subjective.
