Did anyone have similar reaction from spouse ?

Agreed. Both the wife and I love ours.
She was set on an X5 when we started car shopping a few months ago, but after test driving everything up through the X6, the X3 just felt like the perfect size. She fell in love with it. The new X5s almost feel
too big for driving around town.
The build quality and ride are great, and I really enjoy the 28i engine.
Actually, the four cylinder N20 is probably my favorite the about it. Feels light, balanced, and plenty powerful. Well made 4-pots have a special place in my heart.
Edit: my wife and I did get a good laugh looking at the X3's brochure; the bearded, flannel shirted husband figure clearly BMW's not-so-subtle way of saying "not for soccer moms."
Ha.
