Its that age "old smaller, better handling, less refined, less comfortable car" vs "bigger, comfier, more refined, less sporty car" comparison.
Its always the same - There is no objective winner, it just comes down to what YOU want.
Both are good cars but serve different markets. If handling and sportiness is your priority get the X3M, if comfort, practicality, quality and refinement are your priority, get the X5 M50i. IMO, Its that simple.
There is not much you can group-source in that decision. Just don't kid yourself that an X5m50i will ever handle like an X3m, or that an X3m will ever be as comfortable a place to do a 1000 mile road trip as an X5.
