True, it's similar to the 3 series build quality... However, in some of the introduction videos of the x3 the BMW folks were saying it had the new technologies of the 5 series, better quality materials, wood trims, etc...
Following those presentations, and knowing the price of the X3 is almost exact the same as the 5 series here in Belgium I was expecting something more 5 series like in matter of build quality.

It's funny to see how people tempt to take a comment, that i tried to bring in objective way, so personally, like I'm attacking their baby...
I never said the X3 was a bad car, it's just not the build quality I was expecting from a premium brand and it's deffinately miles away of the 5 series.

Just my 2 cents
