I drove a Macan as it was under consideration and M40i. The Macan GTS rode better for sure and I would have bought one if they were more reasonably priced but once you option it up nicely it no longer makes sense. It's more challenging to provide sporty handling on a vehicle with higher ground clearance and really only Porsche has been able to balance that. If you have driven so many vehicles you would know the Model Y rides worse than the Model 3 for this reason. I would never recommend an X3M to someone that simply wanted a fast SUV as the M40i is probably the best all around fast SUV when you consider price vs performance. Plenty of X3M owners are perfectly fine with the ride as it's what we were looking for.
