Landed here while trying to kill time waiting for my G05 build - reconnected with this post via searching for X3 to X5 impressions.

I want to ask what you had before the SQ5 that turned into the X3M40i which then turned into an X5. I've been looking for a first hand opinion if the G05 40i feels/is quicker than a F25 X3 35i Msport.

From my understanding between the F25 X3 6-cyl and the G01 X3 6-cyl there's a large difference in pace. I'm hoping the G05 splits that difference, and doesn't feel like a slouch comparatively.

One thing I found really funny on your detailed review:
