Which car is better? 2007 BMW X5 or 2007 BMW X3?

The X5 is not a "better" car than the X3. The X5 is a bigger, more luxurious, and larger towing capacity SAV than the X3 and thus costs more.



Since the X3 is smaller, weighs less, and lower center of gravity, the X3 handles better, better gas mileage, and is faster than the smaller engine X5 (same engine, but X3 weighs less and is therefore faster). If you get the larger X5 Engine it will be faster after 60mph but 0-60 is the same.



Do you need the space? Get an X5.



Are you going to tow a lot? Get an X5.



Do you need 3rd row seating? Get an X5.



Do you want a more luxurious interior (This was the hardest part for me, I would spend an extra 5k to have a better interior X3)? Get an X5



Better re-sale value (with this in mind it makes the price difference not that much between the X3 and X5) ? Get an X5.



If you answered no are not big deal to all then get an X3.



If you want better handling and "more fun" driving? Get an X3.



Cheaper car and better gas mileage? get an X3.



If you want a more "European" vehicle? get an X3.



You want European Delivery (I highly recommend)? get an X3.



I got an X3 and I couldn't be happier with my choice, especially when I moved to Germany where parking is hard and lanes are smaller. X3's are sold more than X5s in Europe reverse of the USA.



Either way you will not be disappointed !!! It's a BMW :)
