New Twin X!! (X3 & X5!)
For people who want to see a size comparison between the X5 and X3, here is a good picture of both cars side-by-side!
Interesting that the X3 comes with a strut bar standard like the E46 M3.  Had to get one from Dinan for the X5.

Nice review, Dr. Kewl. I agree with your points you make. It sure does handle well! It's surprising that a dealership that's as huge as Crevier would give you a stripped-out X3 as a loaner, especially for an M3... Tulley always gives me X3s, but they're nearly loaded. Usually 2.5i, sometimes 3.0i, and they're pretty well equipped. Even heated steering wheels! I agree about the HK system in the E46 not being great. If you get a chance, could you post more pics from different angles? It's interesting to see.

Actually, they were going to give us a loaded prem./sports packaged 330i 4-door, but we decided to try the X3 and given the opportunity I took it. Actually, a BMW is a BMW no matter what options are in the car.
I'll try to get some more pics (I'll park both cars side-by-side outside the garage).... Quote:

Sometime I would like to drive an X3 to see how it compares up against the xi, especially in the AWD department. I've not been completely enamoured with the xi's AWD.

Good Pics, Doc! Is that theBoss's new X3?
I really like the X3 and if/when I toss our X5, I suspect that's the X5s' replacement. Interesting how they moved ancillary stuff around in the engine bay vs. the X5. I now understand, after seeing some side by side comparos, why the 'genius' designers chose not to do low impact/malleable painted bumpers, though I wish they had/would. It would look "too much" like the X5. Fine pics, Doc...congrats on the addition. BR,md

Nice pix! If you feel like taking more, it would be great to see some outside from different angles. Also maybe some interiors with a cargo comparison. It's interesting, the X3 looks quite a bit smaller, but the size specs for the two are very similar.
Yeah, I think the engine compartment is cool too! People are always surprised when they see that the battery is in the BACK of my X3.
