This is a joke, right?
What I mean is. What kind of question is "Help!"? You'd get a better reaction by posting a thoughtful question with information about what it is you are looking for in a vehicle, your expectations and what if anything you know about each that you like or dislike, so people could comment better.

+1 It would be my choice if the 335i version were available in the States.

I don't like 'station wagons'. I prefer SU(A)V or sedan/coupe body styles.

The 3GT is far more interesting to me than an X3. If it prices out like a 328i xDrive, it's a no brainer. If it had a hybrid drive train, it'd be even better.

Test drive both - horses for courses....
If I didn't have a small child (and trying for another), then I would have gone for a 5 Series Saloon. Actually we sort of did that: I have an X3, husband has a 5 Series Saloon. I like the X3 more than the 3 Series, but either you like an SUV or you don't. QT |

Disagree. I've had an SUV the last 8 years. Like it fine. Doesn't mean a person can't like something else. The 3 series GT is supposed to be higher than a sedan. It's perfectly reasonable for those who don't require the wagon backend of an SUV.

I own a touring now (not the F31) and i´m in the market for a new one now, and after having tried out the X3 i´m sold.
Meets all my and my families needs. Very comfortable indeed. The way the car changed when i vent to sport mode, also made me think i would not miss the touring to much. |
