BMW performance suv are garbage IMO I’ve had the x5m and sold it after 6 months. They look pretty good but the UI for all the electronics are terrible and I hated how they tuned the engine.

Currently I’ve got an 2023 urus s and have an 2024 urus Performante on order along with a 2024 raptor r. The urus is next level suv and as fun to drive any of my Porsches or Ferraris.

Yeah I mean for almost 3x I would agree, LOL. In all seriousness, I put ~20k on it in a year, lots of highway miles and it was enjoyable, although the ride is a bit fragile on certain surfaces and its nowhere close to EV fast. I think if I was going for another SUV, I'd get a Cayenne TGT, drove my neighbors and it was spectacular, albeit the interior is boring.

What did you like better about the Cayenne? Been trying to convince my wife to switch but she’s too deep in the BMW koolaid.

Drives much closer to an actual performance car. The X5M feels like an SUV still, albeit a good one. The Cayenne seating position is more like a sedan, and the handling is really exceptional. Even a base Cayenne handles well IMO when compared to just about any SUV.
