Just one clarification. In the US an SUV is a body on frame and a crossover is a unibody which they both the X3 and X1 are. Even the new Ford Explorer is now called a crossover because they switched from the old body on frame so maybe it's just terminology where we differ. BMW doesn't call them SUV's they are SAV's whatever that means. I had an X5 when they first came out and when the X3 came out in 2004 I downsized, got a 2007 X3 and decided to get the Clubman S because the X3 got poor gas milage (about 18 mpg US). The transmission was the big problem and I think it was actually a GM 6 speed automatic.
