Since it doesn't sound like you need the SUV for kids or whatever, just moving to a 535 or something, would immediately change your mileage to 22/32 with regular gas.
I'm 6'3 and will never go back to a "car" just for the ease of getting in and out. When I get a service loaner at the dealer or a rental car I immediately dread the "car" ha.

Honestly, I do think I would go Q5 S-Line before the X3 given the choice between the 2--X3 just doesn't look right IMO.
