But, that's just me.

It's for those who want to tell everyone they have a BMW, but cannot afford a X5. I had this same line told to me when shopping for a friend looking at a 318i.

The X5 has little utility (although fun to drive) and the X3 is another extension backwards on that theme.
I do like the dash on the X3 though. WAY better than the new 5 series hodge podge of curves.

Not a big fan of the matte black plastic cladding, makes it look a little too Saturn VUE-ish too me. Color keyed would have been much classier, and should have been included on at least the 3.0 model (perhaps as a way to differentiate in from the 2.5). I know, the Land Rover Freelander has non-color keyed cladding, and it's probably the only other mini-ute to carry a premium nameplate in the US. Interior borrows some elements from both the Z4 and the current 3.
I'll take a 325i/330i over the X3, especially now that the SMG is available on the 3 (although I think it's the ZF version from the Z4 that's had mixed reviews, rather than the superb Getrag M3 version)...

Here's a link to a real photo for your further comments (the depiction at the top of this thread is similar, but it's still only a drawing).

I wish my RX330 had more sportier option packages to choose from.

RX330 looks great among similar-sized SUVs now. With a drop and some rims it's just amazing. Check out Tokyo Auto Salon pics.
