Depends what you like... as usual the Bimmer leans more performance and the RX330 more soft quiet ride.
I'd look at a Cayenne S, an 06 Explorer, and the new Ranger Rover Sport also.

Between these two? It would be a very hard decision for me personally...if I were into trucks. First for me is reliability. That means the Lexus hands down. I hear too many horror stories still about BMW products. Every so often you hear from people who got lucky and got a good one but it's a crap shoot.
On the other hand. The x5 is a way better looker and has that german teutonic look and feel that lexus hasn't achieved. Probably not trying because they are very successful without it. Anyway, that teutonic german thing is even more desirable with a truck type vehicle. Slap some wheels on it and it becomes even more teutonic.
In conclusion, I'd probably go with neither. The GX has the look and feel to compensate and it's a Lexus. If I had to choose, it would be the x5. I just don't like that RX.
