I thought a long time about this. In favor of the X4 are sportier looks (not a soccer mom car). I drove it on the "track" at the Ultimate Drive Event and the rear visibility was not as much of an issue as when just sitting in the showroom checking it out. Even the back seat was not an issue for me or the other passengers. One big negative for me is the small sunroof. I decided to order an X3. In the end it just felt "right" when I drove it. I love the light from the panoramic roof and it's still a bit cheaper even when packed with all the options that are standard on the X4.
I would still get an X6 if not for the price. In that case the sloping roof on the F16 does not hit the headroom too much in the back and takes away some of the "bigness" I feel in the X5.
