Re - maintenance. I have a 2015 Macan S bought new. I have just over 100,000 kms on it. Brakes are perfect. Feels like new. I have completed the scheduled maintenance for the brakes since new. Yes the full brake replacement (pads and rotors) will cost about $2000, but I still don't know when that will be needed. For comparison, I have had 10 new cars over many years prior to buying the Macan S, and have changed brakes pads and rotors twice by now. So you are essentially getting a better engineered product that lasts much longer, while paying more when you eventually need to replace and repair components on the car. Your choice. For me, I prefer driving a better product than paying less, but more frequent repairs and replacement.

Had 3 Macan Turbo’s over 40k Miles and absolutely loved them. Looks, dynamics, quality. Got distracted by AMG Merc and now in MY21 X3M40i which is a very impressive all rounder. Super smooth and punchy in-line 6, good handling, excellent cruiser but can be hustled in sports mode. Macan GTS is probably 9/10 versus X3 at 8/10 but here in the UK, in a normal (non-Covid market), BMW dealers have more inventory to move and once you’ve fallen foul of the Porsche options list, the X3M40i should end up as much cheaper, lease or purchase. If money is no object then the Macan GTS - no brainier. It feels special. If you’re budget constrained then X3M40i will not disappoint and you won’t feel short changed.

We lease our cars and have a 10 year relationship with our BMW dealership and we skipped the eye gouging prices at Porsche and Mercedes (one dealer offered me $900 a month with 5k down on a base GLC, I didn’t even answer and walked out and went right to my bmw guy)

Didn’t have heads up display that my M40i does or 3 year maintenance (btw Benz second service is $750) I wanna say it was late 40s to early 50s thousand. My M40i is around 80k with options I selected (custom ordered) I sold my leased 2018 3 series instead of returning the lease and got 7k for that which I just put towards the down payment. I also sold my 2018 leased Benz but kept that money. And I am around $690 a month for my M40i before I added tire insurance because the run flats can really hit you if you have more than 2. But again we lease about 5 BMWs from our guy and known them for 10+ years so I would take my deal with a grain of salt. I tested another bmw dealer with same built and I was quite far in price.

The problem with the base Macan is that by the time you add the options (that most people want) - you're knocking on the door of the Macan S's price. Later when you go to sell it, your nicely optioned base model will be having to compete on price with the stripped down "former dealership loaner car" base Macan's. Better to just get the S from the very beginning I think.

But Macan in the list for next time around. Thanks again, keep up the great work 👍 One question from my end and when I was configuring my M40i, I noticed that the Canadian config let's me pick laser led headlights where as the US side doesn't. There were similar other stuff like seat color choices. For example, I can choose any color and add rear seat heating as well as ventilated front seats in CA build where as it forces Me to go for Black vernasca in the US. Any idea why so and would it be hassle to buy one from Canada and import to US in the future if it comes to it? Have you had any customers take such approach and has there been hassles that you know off outside of the import tax aspect ( like maintance support possibility in the US if made in canada etc)? Thanks again.. regards, Arun

Thanks for the great review / comparison of these cars. I've owned four Porsches over the years and currently still have a Cayenne S and Cayman S. I am replacing the Cayenne S and initially just assumed I would get a Macan S, as I don't need as large a car with the lesser gas mileage at this time. A friend had me look at the BMW X3 M40i and I was impressed by the lesser price, better gas mileage, more standard safety features, B58 engine and more cargo capacity. Obviously BMW options are also better priced. But the real deal breaker is that I'm an Android / PC person and can't understand why all the newer Porsche vehicles, except for the Macan and Cayman are sans Android Auto - quite annoying. So I am planning on getter the M40i. I'll still have the Cayman S though.
@xorbitman2 жыл бұрын
The Macan is much more expensive than the X3 and a softer ride is really welcome in the rest of the real world where the roads are really rough. Yesterday here in the West Island of Montreal on the Sources overpass heading north from highway 20 several people blew their tires while some ruined their suspension, wheels and tires all because of some very bad pot holes. And Montreal isn't the exception...You can drive almost anywhere in the east from Canada to the US and these are the road conditions. If you want better handling then get a car...this business of trying to make SUVs feel like cars is not practical. I drove an 330i as a courtesy car for a day while my bimmer was in for regularly scheduled (free) maintenance and that car has sharp steering and a tighter suspension however in the cold when the suspension feels stiffer you feel every bump in the road. For a 4 cylinder Turbo that car is very peppy. I know a lot of people like the 340i for that great engine but honestly with al the traffic and the current price of a liter of gas, I prefer a smooth drive over a "spirited" one. If you need that extra excitement then wait until the end of winter and get yourself a proper summer sports car. And you don't have to break the bank to get one either. There are a lot of both new and used choices out there. Another interesting point too; my dealership is in Laval, QC one of Canada's largest BMW dealership and I had to show a vaccine passport to be allowed in because the passport now works by square footage. The dealership has almost NO inventory and doesn't expect any until April! In the used car department in the showroom they were showcasing used BMW M's, mostly "competition" and now these 2 year old low mileage high performance vehicles sell for more than when they were new! Yup it's gotten that bad! Once again you guys, your review was excellent and the production quality top notch. BTW - Some BMW models get 4 years free maintenance.

The BMW’s blocky back end looks frumpy to me so, all other things being equal, I’d buy the Porsche on looks alone. However, I don’t like the “slick and more modern” buttonless interior on the Porsche. I want lots of buttons to busy it up like a jet fighter.

Let’s see, $120 for X3 oil change at the dealership, and $400 for the macan. I’ll keep my X3 M40i, besides it eats Macans for lunch. ANYDAY.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I think the Macan facelift is a huge step backwards. It's disappointing to see Porche dive headfirst into the hideous trend of excessive black plastic trim everywhere. Can't wait for OEMs to move on to another design cue.

As of now, the base Macan is 70,935 in CAN. Ridiculous from Porsche. But the base X3 is 56,700.

My 2019 X3 m40i suspension was too stiff for daily driving. It would bounce if the concrete was the slightest bit uneven. Bumps delivered a harsh bang to the driver. I test drive a 2023 X3 M40i with the adjustable suspension. Stiff and stiffer is the best description. The dealer then told me to not even try the X3 M.

The key is to go with the smaller wheels. Then they ride quite well.

It’s a close call between Macan S and X3 M40i. Value goes to BMW, resale goes to Macan. Both are great entertaining drives.

I take the car that is more spacious, has android auto and doesnt have that silly clock in the middle. I also prefer car to look like angry beaver rather than furious duck 😉

What's up with the BMW suspension? They use front struts on the X340i while Mercedes uses multilink on the GLC 43 Coupe and Porsche uses double wishbone; even the SQ5 has multlink all around. I like the BMW engine and transmission more, the B58 is definitively best in class. I also like the that it looks like an SUV and not a coupe SUV and doesn't compromise as much on interior spacing. But the Porsche feels so much more solid in handling and interior quality. Really disappointed on how much cheaper it is than an X5 because it addresses my complaints but I don't want something that huge. If I wanted something that huge I wouldn't even consider the X5 over something far more practical like a MDX Type S

The design of BMW 3 is so boring looking. Porsche Macan is a totally different level, no suv like it.
