Not very sporting, to say the least. If you don't need the carrying/cargo capacity of the X5, why would you get over the X3 35i. Looks? I don't think the new X3 looks that much different from the X5, and being "manly" or not is of zero concern to me.

For what it's worth.....
You are coming from a M3 then a 535xi (you are the man! ), what is your rate, your opinion on those cars and then the X3 35i? What do you like the most in the new X3 and what do you miss from those two other cars (other than the power of your M3 of course).
