I will be getting one next year for my wife. I am choosing it for a few reason like because I already have an e90 and my wife wants something different. We dont mind the harsh ride on the X3 (is no harder than my 330i sport) because the handling is very good. She also likes the idea of a small suv as compared to a station wagon. I like either one. Also when I get a special lease (charter for sellin a certain amount of BLWs in one year) the monthly payment will be much better on an X3 so it will save me almost $100/month. All of this adds up to why I would take an X3. The lease and resale are TERRIBLE for the wagon. The 328xi wagon drives like a dream and I like the I-Drive better than the controller and NAV in the X3. That is my biggest complaint with the X3. The nav is ok but not as good as in the wagon.
