i'd be seeing what macan you could build.
I don't know man, the Macan is so slow for the $ being asked. Isn't the Macan Turbo something on the order of 106mph trap speed? Might as well get a cheap E90 335xi that is "full bolt on" for a quarter of the cost

If I were in the OP's shoes, I would split that 1 expensive AWD car into 2 cars, and get a toy and a diesel small SUV

OP's picks are like all season tires. OK at everything, but not great, and very costly
splitting into 2 cars was what I had to do... e90 335i is how I got hooked on BMW. loved it but it would feel so old now. the macan is expensive for the grunt but overall it's likely a really nice daily driver. op isn't looking for a Texas mile or road course car.

any of these cars would be great. I'd want to test drive the new 550i and S6 back to back, maybe X5 50i and GLE equivalent.
