Go drive an E90 325 and an Audi A4. You'll feel which one you like better. If you do go with Audi, go CPO. The resale on Audis is not good. I would rule out most of the Japanese options. They just don't feel like a BMW as not much if anything does. You'll be impressed with the E90.

I'd skip the X3 since you had an X5. It'll probably feel a little strange after having had an X5 and it sounds like you're over having a SUV/SAV.
Thats one of the problems.. Today I went down to Tulley and drove around the lot and they didn't have a single E90 with nav. I'm going to be going to college soon and Nav is something I'd LOVE to have.. I agree about the Japanese options.. They may handle/perform as well, but they don't feel as well engineered. There's something about Japanese cars that just doesn't leave you feeling as warm as a German car would. I drove an X3 about a month ago and I loved it. It handles great, gets pretty good mileage, etc.
