True. My original point was regarding the weakness of the X3 SatNav and that it was going to be significantly upgraded (HW and SW) this April. Whether that is the LCI isn't stated nor does it matter to me.

Just clarifying your original claim regardless of if it matters to you, it probably does to the people who read it looking for facts vs speculation. Thanks for clarifying.

Nothing concrete thus far - in December some rumored spy shots came out with minor changes under cover, but it's kind of odd for nothing more concrete to be available considering production would start in April and here we are almost February...

I would expect that if the LCI is happening in April, we'll know by the time of the Geneva Motor Show on March 7th. At this point that's only 6 weeks away. In any case, the new iDrive looks all but certain to be added in April, so there is at least some benefit to waiting until then. Also there's a chance it will be MY14 which might help with resale.
But at that point, why not wait to check out the Porsche Macan when it arrives? |

Re the original question........... I have a 3.0D Msport and my wife has the new Honda CRV (EX diesel auto). IMHO both are very nice cars.
Dimensionally exterior/interior both are very similar. Both are well built and the Honda (ie my wifes) has more extras than I have on mine and cost circa £15k less! However, for me, the driving experiences are totally different. The BMW is a great drivers car (for a SUV) with acceleration and handling to match, whilst the CRV is not nearly as competent. |

We test drove well over a dozen small SUVs in our search and all of the more economy minded SUVs (RAV4, CX-7, CRV, etc.) all felt basically the same...like tall economy cars. I even commented that I would rather buy a base model stripped European vehicle than a loaded RAV4/CRV/etc. - the drive is just completely different as others have stated. If you really don't care (or care less) about the drive and feel then by all means save a ton of money and go for one of the cars I listed. They will generally be problem free and virtually all of them (Escape, RAV4, CX5 and CRV) have been re-designed either this year or in the last 2 so they are current with the tech, etc. A buddy at work just got a new Escape and it looks sharp and has nice tech - he really likes it.
