Thanks for the great comparison. I too was recently faced with the same decision and went with the 2020 X5 xDrive40i M Sport (20 inch all season run flats). After extended driving in both, I felt that the X5 had a very taut, yet supple, and a more sophisticated suspension. Very smooth and buttery. It was also quieter, and the vehicle as a whole had a more solid feel. Even the materials inside felt just that much better for some reason. Yes, the X3 M40i barked, popped, crackled, banged, and burbled, but in my opinion, was only slightly faster and a little more exciting to drive. Surprisingly, the steering in the X3 felt a little twitchy and demonstrated what felt like slight torque steer at wide open throttle from a dig. This was maybe due to the tire pressures, but I drove them back to back to back and noticed that I had to hold the steering a little tighter in the X3 when I floored them both from a dig. For context, I traded out of a F82 M4CS, so I was used to a very sporty and firm ride. Maybe I just figured if I am going to get a SUV, just get the better ride quality and leave the super sportiness to a real/true sports car.

In real life, the “space” difference in rear seating is less than an inch. You only realize that extra 2-3” in the cargo area, and it isn’t all that noticeable. There’s a softer “feel” in the x5, and more body roll with inspired driving, but people waste too much time speaking about the “space” differences. The X5 is a little wider, a little taller, a little longer - emphasis on little. Both are great, but don’t make your decision based on cargo space, legroom, etc…

nice comparison. i have the X3 m40i, absolutely love it! best car i ever owned. but once in while i wonder about the X5. i was dead set on the B58 tune in the X3, i didnt even test drive the X5. i do a lot of long distance driving with family, and at times cargo space is a tad small. this was a good comparison, loved it. not sure if i would give up my X3 for the X5. it fits like a perfect glove to me.

X3/4 is noticeably narrower than X5. X3 front sits are also much smaller more for shorter people under 5.9

@bxp1696

I am an Audi and a BMW fan and you're absolutely right on Q5 and SQ5 not having enough space. The X3 offers much more usable space, not just in cargo but in door panels, glove compartments,, and still gives you same or better performance.

So I saw where this is your wife's vehicle, not yours. I'm "torn" between the X3 & X5 purely from a personal size standpoint. I'm 5' 10" / 300 lbs. (Unfortunately) & really having a tough time deciding which. Obviously, the X3 M40i gives you more "bang for your buck" but I'm concerned it might be too cramped for me. I have a friend who's 5'8" & her husband is 6'2" They own an X3 & insist the fit is fine. I've sat in both & really didn't notice all that much of a difference... Your opinion?

@d3j051

I have the 2022 X5 and love it. I'm sure the X3 m40i would be more fun with better performance but if you need the extra space, then the X5 gives you that with more luxury. You also have the option of getting a V8 in the X5 which is pretty amazing.

Would be interesting to compare to X5 xDrive50e that comes with 483hp and 4.6s vs 4.4s for X4 M40i. The air suspension supposedly is standard on 50e that might be both sporty and comfy.

I love my G05.

@bizzybezz

Man I have the x3 30i lol but I love it and have driven a x5 loaner once and that was just like driving on clouds almost but if I had to choose I'd take a x3 m40 mainly for the extra power

@yuliaivanii7104

The best review I ever seen on KZfaq! You are very professional.

GREAT Comparison! We were in the middle of which to select... We selected the XDrive 3 with Drive Dynamics. You are the man when it comes to comparisons. EXCELLENT! Thanks. I've been roaming looking for Drive Dynamics vs non drive dynamics on an X3 (non 40)but this was helpful for X3 vs X5
