Drive the PDK transmission and be sure you like it. It's different and you will be living with it daily.
The X3 is solid reliable. For me the M suspension is too hard. This is subjective.

Just a few thoughts from my recent personal experience.
I cross-shopped a few vehicles when the time came to trade in my F15. I ultimately went with the 2021 Base Macan. I found a very nicely equipped one in Chalk color, and took advantage of the crazy values dealers are paying for used cars for my 2018 F15. I wanted the 2021 as the 2022 transitioned to haptic controls on the center console that I did not like (love my buttons!)
I’ll note the Base has ample power for my driving needs. Driving In Massachusetts, the roads and traffic patterns would not really allow me to get the benefit out of a Macan S and, truth be told, did not want to pay the $10K premium.
Not a fan of the G05, I looked at the X6, which was just too big and overpriced, and just could not warm-up to the X3/X4. The Macan hits the sweet-spot for all my needs.
