3 things I anticipate I will miss moving from X3 to Macan

1) run flats
2) sending location to car from google maps
3) HUD

Or will I?

I would probably miss two and three.

I wouldn't miss one. You have more tire options not going runflats, also cheaper too. The sidewalls on runflats are absolutely torture for a car, my body and its suspension. I wish all cars came with a spare tire instead of the sealant or run flat method to avoid flats...

Agreed. I had my 20" run flats removed from my 6 series Gran Coupe within 30 days and less then 1K miles. Sold on here in less then 24 hours.

I have a 650Cab with Runflats and the HUD. I do miss the HUD when I drive the Porsche (991Cab) but am going ahead with the Macan anyway. Not going to miss the run flats at all as they're just too rough riding.

The salesperson showed me how to customize what you see on the center (right). It is not HUD but not bad. All other signs demonstrate the Macan is far superior.

Had HUD in my X6M and wife's M6. Hardly ever paid attention to it.
