We also sent some considerable time evaluating the X3, XC60 and Q5, and thats the order they finished in. Don't overlook the Volvo - and yes I still believe the XC60 is the best looking externally of the three.

Also agree the Q5 is just "too roundy and plain". Sure its got a very distinctive front-end (which people either love or hate), but the rest of it looks like any number of mid-sized SUVs from South Korea or Japan. By comparison, the X3 (and XC60) is very clearly a BMW (or Volvo) from any angle.

Agreed.

I'm my (subjective) opinion regarding overall looks, it goes X3 < Q5 < XC60 < X3 M-Sport

With the Volvo and the M-Sport neck-and-neck. I think they're both really good looking. I do like the Q5 over the normal X3, but I can't stand that black plastic on the bottom of the normal X3.
