i was in the same boat a couple of months ago. i actually ordered the x3 35i fully loaded. after seeing the lease rate, a well equiped x5 35i was only $30/mo more. so i was really set on either buying the x3 or buying the x5. after much debate, i ended up with the x5 (it's coming this sat). i really do love the x3. love the way it looks and based on the reviews it's awefully quick too. i chose the x5 because i have a kid coming and i figure x5 is a wiser choice if i have another kid. the only thing i'm thinking twice about is that in 2 yrs, the new x5 will come out and my x5 will look outdated. bottom line, see what fits your needs more. i don't think the gas mileage is that big of a difference. probably 2-4 mpg overall.
