Buying used gives two big financial advantages (1) eliminates the unusually high cost of optional features with BMWs and (2) controls depreciation cost

And I will say I like the Nav on the '17 CX-5 better than I like the NBT on my F30.

We also looked at X1's. Didn't care for the styling and unless you want a pseudo SUV, just get a 4 series gran coupe because they're the same size, functionality and it looks 10x better.

Again I'm not comparing the CX-5 to an X3 as a one for one alternative because it's not. However at the price point we were looking at, it was the clear winner.
