I test drove both and I know I would opt for the x3 over the x5. The x3 felt like I was almost driving my 325. The x5 left a lot more to be desired in the driving experience.
BTW, the 4.8 x5 is retarded. It's too much power for that car if you ask me.

4.8's just barely beat 325xi's. Ive tested it once. The 4.8's sounds awsome but they haveno cornering and they really are slow POS. Becides they have that stupid front wheel bearing recall which is a pain to do. For the price get a 03 540 and beat the 4.8's all day long.

I suppose I would like whichever one sustaines the most damage after I run one of each into a brick wall, better. BMW and SUV go together like pepper spray and eyes.
