Have you driven a Macan Turbo? That's the closest proxy and you can figure out in a pretty short amount of time by driving the Macan S and Macan Turbo back to back if you like the "performance SUV" idea
I have driven a Macan Turbo with PP and did enjoy it, just not the $100k + price tag and the terribly outdated feel of the center console and button layout. That being said the Macan GTS for example drives differently than an X3 M40i. So idk how much of a comparable feel the two will be. If I do go this route, I think a test drive would have to happen.

Definitely appreciate the suggestion, however, as that may be the X4Ms benchmark comparison.
