If you want a X5 get one but the X3 is not so different in size or shape to be worth worrying about. Purchase and running cost and engine size are much more significant.
Good points. I think what gets me about the current gen X3 is proportion of the front bumper (see attachment). The angle of the lower portion of the bumper angles inward. While the front end of the X1 and X5 mostly goes straight down (more squarish look).
