X3 was significantly facelifted for MY18. In August, I had a fully-negotiated and sealed deal on the only Silver over Black X3M40i in the country with the Driver Assist pack, 300 miles away. Wife came home next day from work and announced she thought we needed something larger (even though the X3 has class-leading cargo volume), and that started us on our G05 journey.
I concur with other poster: would have been happy with the X3. I am ecstatic with the G05.
Happiness vs Ecstacy. Hmmm...
