Yes, it is strange. Here is a link to a 2001 X5 test (BMW ad). That model appeared in 2000, so since the X3 started in 2004 I'm hoping we will see some tests soon.

I've heard/read that independents buy the cars they test. I guess that removes the possibility of getting specially prepared ones from the manufacturer.
