+1 on all of those.

I wondered why there are 10 E70's on my (fairly small) dealers lot right now and only one X3.

3.0si doesn't compete. 4.8i is ludicrously expensive. Power Tailgate? They can't figure out how to do it with the fold down part at the bottom.

Adjustable Ride Height!? WHAT'S WRONG!?!?! They had this in 2002, they stole it from the Rover parts bin. This is one of the most useful ways to jack up the price by $2000. Ours has been completely indispensible in our relatively cheap-o Touareg!!! It's standard on cheaper lexuses and mercedes! Get real! (Pet Peeve)
