Had an X3 like 10yrs ago, then wife had a Macan, now I have a "beater" project Cayenne that I bought to do an offroad build, bunch of other cars in between as we would usually switch out one of our cars every year for a while...we also both had A4s at different points. I really like the look of the M series X3s and the M2 (especially if they do an XDrive), could really see myself going back to BMW for my next car. I will get a 911 at some point down the line, just because I feel like every car person has to scratch that itch once...only reason I haven't yet is because we're in the mountains and our roads are shit, every time I own something with sporty wheels I find myself replacing one or two a year.

So yeah I think BMW/Porsche/Audi is a pretty common oscillation, not so much a pipeline for a lot of people.
