I think the VDC, pano roof, powered boot and comfort access are pretty good things to have. The only thing I miss from the X5 is the sort close doors.
I love the way it goes and I'm really pleased with the mpg.
I'm sure you will enjoy yours.

i test drove the X5 40d M Sport before buying the X3. I too found that car to be really bouncy. Hated it to be honest.
I then took out an X3 M Sport 30D (what I eventually ordered), without VDC, and it was TOTALLY different to the X5. Much much better. So much so, I decided that VDC wasn't necessary for me.
