5/6/7/X5/6/M5/M6 A much higher quality level.
So it comes down to what you are looking for.

Can anyone else vouch for this. I had a E90 3-series and it handily beats the interior of my 2009 X5 in terms of build quality, rattles, etc. The X5 interior is a joke in terms of fit/finish quality in my opinion. Lots of plastic noises/creeks on the doors, armrests, etc. During cornering the flex from the chassis causes squeaks.
I'm actually considering downsizing my wife's X5 to a new X3, I was hoping the interior quality would be better.
