I'm 26 and a cyclist. I need something bigger where I can put my bikes and crap inside. I am VERY tempted by the new X3 M40i. It's fast on paper (not sure how it handles etc). The other option I was looking at was a an X5 50i as depreciation as caused havoc on the 50i.

The negative to the X3 is that I'd have to wait longer to purchase as I would not like to purchase new (and I drive to much to lease).

The other models that seem very tempting to me: Porsche Macan & Jaguar F-Pace S.
Drove both the X3M40i and the X5 50i back to back and even though the X5 is only a few inches wider inside just felt more roomier. At the end of the day I went with the X5 and 50i is a blast.
