I currently have a 330i and I love the car. However the ride is not comfortable for long road trips. I generally like SUVs, as my parents have a land cruiser. I like that car as it is very stable and you feel like you’re almost floating on a cloud on the freeway. I am not sure which BMW would feel similar. I heard the 5 series is also pretty good (it was referred to as a mini 7 series in some review the other day)

Update: For the people voting for the X3, may I know in what way is it better than the x5? I always thought the x5 was the go to car for comfy road trips

  • I was on similar dillema, between x3m vs x5

    I went for x5 40i for few reasons:
    - even at standard, you get up to 4.9 0-60 (vs 4.1ish) with decent mpg (I get around 21 street, 29 on highway)
    - interior quality is always better at 5 series equivalent
    - much more standard equipment
    - much better cargo
    - dynamic suspension as standard on x5

    Based on what your describing with the “floating” I would opt for an X5 with the air suspension

    • I recommend this too. Standard suspension is decent, but air is worth (if you are leasing, especially). It bugs me time to time lol

      Plus you get adjustable height with the air.

    The X3 was called by top gear as the “village idiot in a town(BMW) of geniuses”. Get the X5 please.
