Hi all,
Just contemplating swapping our 2013 X3 F25 2.0 D M Sport for possibly a 2012 X5 E70 Xdrive 30D or 40D.
Wondered if any one might have any comments or advice

.
Thanks in advance.

In a simalar boat, trading in my 2006 325 for 2012 X5 3.5 premium package , I see a lot of 2012's coming off leases.

Depending on cost, you should expect a significant (positive) difference in everything between the X3 and X5. Cheers.

We had a 2012 F25 X3 and now have the E70, and I like the X5 better. Its more roomy, feels a lot more stable and solid. The X3 did have a little bit lighter of a steering feel, which is nice for a lot of city driving, but otherwise, I like the X5 better. The extra space is great, and the two piece tailgate is nice. One more than one occasion, we'd open the rear hatch on the X3 only to have groceries fall right out onto the ground. The split rear hatch on the X5 prevents that. I like that. Good luck.
