1. I found G30 to be lot more comfortable than X3 even in firmer M Sport setup.
2. We hardly ever drive off road or get enough snow to warrant having a xdrive. That said you could always get a G30 with xdrive if needed.
3. X3 is a better option if you are looking for boot space but G30 does the job for us. We can fit all our suitcases for a road trip without any issues.
4. G30 is certainly more advanced from a tech point of view.
5. G30 interior comes across as better quality than the X3. I know X3 improved quite bit but I wouldn't say it's at the level of G30.
6. I do about 80 miles everyday. G30 fared better in my fuel consumption calculations.

Hope these help in some way. Good luck.
Well if you don’t need an X3 up in Edinburgh I guess I don’t in Norfolk!

Mind you both cars still tick all the boxes as a family car, so it may well just come down to which works out cheapest on PCP. Although that might depend on how careful I am with the 5 series’ extensive optional extras list!
