HOWEVER - BMW decided to delay everything and the timing didn't work. the X3 is a girls car and useless so I got the X5

I don't think there is any comparison between the two -completely different market segments.
shame BMW NA couldn't get them over there in line with Europe.. Sounds like it would have been ideal for you. X5 a lovely car though. I personally wanted the X6, but it's still too big for our roads and 4 seats was the killer blow (wife + 2 small children).
