Having both an F15 X5 and an F25 X3 right now, there is no way I would make the switch. Going from the X5 to the X3 is something I hate and I always make sure the wife takes the X3 when possible. Don't get me wrong, the X3 is a great vehicle but if you are used to an X5 I could never switch down.
I was able to take a G01 X3 for a drive the other day when my X3 was in for service. I admit it is quite a bit nicer then the outgoing F25 but I still preferred my F15 X5. With the new G03 X5 so close to being released I wouldn't pull the trigger on a new X3 until I saw that first.
No matter how you look at it, it is a first world problem and comes down to your own preference. Best of luck, car shopping is the best!
