This is the primary reason I didn't purchase one. If you are leasing - the current X5 may be a viable option. But on a purchase I guarantee you will take a huge hit once the F15 X5 is introduced. BTW: My last SUV was a 2012 QX56 so I understand size. Just my needs changed and no longer require the dimensions of the QX56. I also owned an LCI E53 X5 4.4i Sport. One of my favorite BMW's to date. I would say the F25 X3 is comparable in size, but it still feels a bit smaller than the previous X5.
