I tested all three
Q5 is a hassle to purchase, dealers only want 'the one on the lot' to the highest bidder. Waited six months and got tired of playing their game. Also, couldn't get used to the HUGE side view mirrors. 2013 will probably arrive in 2014 at their rate of production...
Toureag gas consumption (non diesel) is terrible. Was trying to buy the diesel version but told that in CA, our diesel has a paraffin wax additive which is clogging diesel systems.
Never heard of the 2013 x3, just happened to be driving by a BMW lot, (didn't like the former X3', X5's). Sales guy convinced me to try a 2013, and loved it! No blind spot issues in the X3 as I am only 5'3. So far, no regrets. First car I didn't spend hours researching, did not intend to buy one and still managed to get a good OTD price.
