Lol the X5 feels so big to me. My mom also has an X5 40 M sport. She's been driving X5s for 15 years and to her X5 will always be superior to X3, regardless of spec. She doesn't care for the performance/handling chops of the M division so rejected my suggestion for an X3M once her lease is due this summer.

She does agree with me that the steering and overall handling dynamics of the G05 are lousy, but otherwise loves the car.
As someone who owns both, to suggest to your own mother that she goes from an X5 40i to an X3M is just abusive.
