Are you tempted by the new X3?

[Almaretto]

I am tempted by X3 M40i to replace the F010, but will probably go G30 (either 540 or M550). It is not appealing as replacement for my X5.

I had the E53 f4.4 for 11 years, great suspension and like it alot. 2017 and previous (gen2) X3 appears to have same dimension as E53 (1st gen). Now that i have the F15, it stays in garage much of the time (it was wife's choice). I drive the 3er F30 'coz you can toss the smaller vehicle around and have fun driving rather that big and tall F15.
Just my 2 cents.

Maybe go for the X3 !!!!

Drove the new M40i today, pretty impressive with the power and engine response.... If our X5 has the B58 as base engine option, I would probably go with that instead of 50i for better reliability, mpg, handling and less cost.....The current n55 is too weak for my taste...

no, not tempted at all but if you're considering a vehicle of that size then the SQ5 is a much better option.
