I had a production number and build week for the M40i. But when the whole steering wheel shortage issue got me a bit peeved, and now my build is on hold. Maybe until MY2019?

X3M is not out of the question, but I'm not really in the mood for an $85K car right now. I might be tempted by a Macan S, but I'd have to drive one first.
If you’re after a thicker steering wheel the Macan probably won’t do it for you. Of course, there are other reasons to consider a Macan, it’s a fun car. I’m just trying to think of where you go if you’re turning down the M40i because you want a beefy wheel.

Or maybe you just wait until you can drive the M40i back to back with other cars and see which one you like best, even with the sport wheel.
