I'm shopping this segment as well. It's worth mentioning, there will likely be a new Macan Turbo at some point next year, though if pricing follows the new 2019 base/S models there will be a $5-10K price jump...which puts them at $100K when reasonably equipped. Porsche has never been a value brand, but driving-wise the new (and current) Macan Turbo will likely be better than the X3M, so I wouldn't discount it too much based on lower power alone.
The X3M does seem like a decent value. I wasn't sold on the styling until I saw one (X3 M40i) yesterday. I do wish full leather was an option.
Personally, I have no interest in the Merc, Alfa, or Jag...mainly for the reasons you've already stated.
