I think X3 drivers should be referred to as Damn X5 minus 2 Drivers on the X5 Forum!

And their X3 rally driver is certainly no Danica Patrick!!

Fairly ridiculous arm wrestle, imo...
both Xs have their FABs and their
downsides.

There is enough grief in this world without
the need for X3 vs X5 bs, imo.

Drive what ya'll like.

Sorry to be so blunt but there is no denying it, you only buy an X3 because you can't afford an X5!!!!! It's like buying a boxster, you no you want a 911 but ur pockets just ain't deep enough!!

The X3 IMHO, is just an Okay car. There are many reasons I could never own one. It may drive like a BMW, but it just dosn't FEEL like one. The interior feels low-rate; and as this may have been adressed for the facelift, looking at early '04 models it seems that the X3's interior was not on par from the begining. And most X3 owners will use the excuse that the interior is bad because it is Sporty; but really there is no excuse. The doors are light minus the thud when you close the door. The E46 that it was based on felt way more on par with a BMW feel than the X3. And I see way more soccer moms driving X3's than 4.4i and 4.8is X5's.....


Long Live the Original....

You are absolutely correct - we all love the roundel! I have both an X3 (900 miles) and an X5 (72K miles) and I love them both!!! I can blow them both away with my foot to the floor of my 360HP 550i (7K miles) no problem at all. Who cares about size, cargo space, etc. Just buy a bunch of Bimmers and have fun!!!
