If you think about it couldn't someone make fun of an X5 owner for being too poor to afford an X6 or a 5 series owner for a 7 series?

I'm not sure why you decided on a Toyota 4runner as an alternative. My sister has a 4th gen 4runner and it's inferior to the X3 in every way. The car gets 2-3 mpg less, less power, doesn't handle as well, has worse interior and exterior. The car also isn't in the same price range, you should compare the X3 with the Q5, GLK, or even the base Cayenne.
I test drove the 4runner and the only thing I could compare it to is a kiddie carnival ride...really odd.
