Q5 vs. X3

Back in July of 2009 I took delivery of a Q5 Prestige SLine. At the time I felt it was the best Compact/Midsize Crossover on the market. I sold it about 10k miles later in December of 2009 to take delivery of my F07 550i GT. The F25 X3 is faster, handles better, I believe slightly larger interior wise. Instrument wise on the Q5 I do like how the Speed and NAV turn by turn instructions are displayed in the center of the gauge cluster negating the need for HUD, B & O sound system very clear throughout the range, and also the fact that the rear tail lamps are "FULL LED's" (come on BMW- really):roll eyes:

F25 owns the Q5 in all other areas - JMHO
