We live in Colorado and go into the mountains frequently, so I want something that will pull effectively as we go through the mountain passes. I know I'd love the 35, but not sure it's really called for for her - she's no speed demon. I also want to consider 3-5 year resale as affected by engine choice. So, I continue to vacillate between all 3 AWD choices.

Please help with thoughts as to how I should make this decision.
What will the X3 be pulling and how regularly?
