[GenX3]

I think price was a major factor for me. I could get a fully loaded X3 35i, or a fully standard X5... Next came fuel economy. Although the X5 has a diesel that does pretty well, the options for that particular model where limited. I have the HUD and like it. It's practical... except for daytime running with polarized lenses... that's a no-go.

The nav system was the best I'd seen out there and the MSport trim added some nice looking upgrades (love the chubby steering wheel).

If you have an iPhone, get the BMW apps and adapter. Load it up with everything... should come in at about $55-58K depending...
