I think I drove a 2008 535xi wagon vs a 2011 x3 35i so there is a bit difference there in that the 535 was a used example and i had the salesperson with me and I just took it out for a short spin actually.
Maybe it was the driving position, maybe the fact it was used, hmm I'm not sure but again, when you are spending 30-35,000 you sort of want to be wowed a little bit.
With the X3 I find the space more accomodating and I love the driving position. I have never owned an SUV before, so its not like I am used or wanted that position.
Maybe it was the engine, the newness of the car itself or that dynamic handling package and sport package, but i just fell for it and just didnt fall for the 535.
Trust me: I researched autotrader.com for weeks and was really set on the wagon.
Also, I like the new tech in the x3: idrive updated, bmw apps, great stereo and choosing the exact colors, etc... you want.
Again, just my thoughts.
