X3, I like sitting up higher + much more room.

The sedan gets better mpg and handles better.

Not sure about room, more cargo yes but what about seating?

Greater rear seat room in the X3. Take a look at one, you'll be surprised.

If he likes the seating position + space, the X3 takes it. Otherwise, no reason not to get the sedan.

Have your friend drive both; they are like roomy
sneakers vs. dress shoes...no one could make his
choice.

The sedan trunk only holds a couple pieces of
small, soft luggage and a toothbrush, otherwise
it's a helluva car. But, the awd may be overkill
unless he's heading for Hunter Mtn or, New Angleland
in the winter.

Agreed

Equally equipped; X3 is cheaper than 330xi. BMW also has lease promo for X3 this month. More horses and torque on 330xi. 330xi gives up to 28 mpg on automatic. It personal preference.

When it snows awd is nice, seems like more and more cars have it as a option.
