You'd actually be surprised. The X3 is wider (both interior and exterior) than my old E60. The short wheelbase does sacrifice some ride comfort. I'm disappointed because the old X3 offered a downmarket version of the multi-contour seats, but this one does not. I'm unhappy BMW felt the need to separate from the X5 so much with the X3. There will always be a huge market for the X5 because of utility and prestige, no matter how nice the X3 is inside.
