2005/2006 X5 vs. 2007/2008 X3 - which would you prefer?

[medschool26]

Hey guys,
New to this site, and hopefully new to the BMW world soon. I was very close to buying a 06 X5 3.0 fully loaded for $22k, 19 months left on the warranty...but the seller bailed on me (out of state purchase, bought a ticket and everything to fly out there, and then tells me he sold it to someone else...anyways)

So after that I started looking into X3s, and now am having some trouble deciding between a newer car with fewer miles (have found plenty of 07s, a few 08s with nice enough features and around 20-40k for $22k).

Right now I'm looking at an 05 X5 4.4 that is loaded with everything I've been looking for. A few months left on the warranty. Also going for $22k.

I'm looking to buy a bad ass SUV to impress. I've had a car for a few years but after breaking things off with my ex of 9 yrs, for once I want something impractical and nice I've had my eyes set on an X5 for a couple of months now, but now the X3 doesn't look so bad (which is my practical side talking, lol)

Thanks! (sorry for such a long first post)
