That left cayenne which would have cost 50k more similarly equipped (I like cars loaded with all the toys) or wait for q8 (which would also cost about 20k more). Velar was too small and rr sport is old tech and dated interior. A loaded g05 x40i m sport was the best option for me and got me actually excited about owning one.
You've just summed up all my thoughts and feelings regarding my search for a luxury SUV. Funny that I've also cross-shopped all those vehicles you've mentioned.

I'm still not 100% sold on the G05 as a complete package, however. I love the interior, tech, and BMW's history of driving dynamics. But I'm just not sure about the exterior.......even though I've already placed an order for one.
I have a good feeling about the exterior after seeing the new x3 m sport. G05 is just a bigger and more lux version of it and the x3 looks a hell of a lot better in person than pics.
