A decade ago I can’t see my myself having said that same opinion ... but I would sooner cross-shop amongst the VW group brands than deal with BMW.
The Audi Q5 is a significantly more boring car and has significantly less dynamics than a base X3... inside it's the same story... it just looks cheaper inside... oh and the X3 is a bit cheaper.
