Seriously, this whole thread is pretty pointless and ridiculous.

Enjoy your expensive X5, but personally I'd rather have a fully loaded X3 3.0 the rest of the cash for other toys. And if I was going to spend $80K+ on a car, it would not be an X5... but to each his own.

Just one comment on storage space. Fact is, all cubic feet are not equal. While the X3 may have more cubic feet of storage space, that only comes into play if you are carrying jelly beans (or some other small object that can fill every nook and cranny). Useful storage space should also be given consideration. Maximum width, depth and height of a box that can fit into the cargo area.

Just my $0.02. Really all these grown ups arguing over whose car is better.

An X3 is not a man's or woman's car. While it happens that there may be more male X5 drivers than X3 drives is irrelevant since not all drivers go online to forums like these.

And furthermore, many men would pick the X3 over the X5.

X3 has 1" more headroom in the rear (X5 has 1/2" more in front).
X3 has 1" more legroom in the front.
X3 has 1/2" more legroom in the rear.
X3 has 1/2 cubic foot more luggage space
X3 has 1 cubic foot more total cargo space
X3 has 1" higher ground clearance and a 4" shorter overhang on a wheelbase that is less than 1" shorter than the X5. That means better offroad and deep snow capability.
