The X3 feels like a car on stilts both the X6 and X5 felt more SUV/Truck like.
I considered the X5 with 4.4TT, but felt that it Really did not feel as quick, nor handled as well as my X3 with M-Sport Package. To me, the ride/handling of the X3 was more BMW...like a 3 series. Besides I also have a 500hp+ AMG for my fair weather vehicle, so the X3 was a nice complement. With that said, if an X3M were announced, I'd be first guy in line
