Get the X3 if you like driving.
I do like driving, but i also like the car to look unique as well. and the evoque looks damn sexy still, and the interior is awesome. love the panny roof. no offense, but when i test drove the x35i, the interior was so bland, even though it was the "new" model. the exterior, unless it had the M sport kit, looked pretty bland as well. and the grunt and braking wasnt there when I test drove... not sure why. I was expecting the SOTP feel to be much better on the x3. it has a similar engine to my 335xi, and it didnt feel anywhere near the performance.
still, it is a good car, and better than the GLK, and Q5s by far.
tough decision. also, im going to be leasing, so long term reliability does not affect me. otherwise, that would have been a huge nod to the x3 IMO.
