    Even though both brands have been doing significant cost cutting….seeing these two models side by side really highlights how low BMW has gone with interior quality on semi-entry level models. Such a shame

    As an NX350 luxury model owner there are a few things here I want to say.
    I do like the outside of the BMW x3 a little better. But when is a touch screen when you're driving just a little bit too much. So what I learned is the manual buttons on the NX for some of the important things is priceless. Driving the more modern screen is so distracting I can see an accident waiting to happen. The interface is so much more simplistic with the NX but still has a lot of features at least everything you need. The interior of the NX 350 luxury model is beautiful. I do like the option to open my sunroof. I do like the reclining seats in the back. Headspace is limited for sure it's enough but the hair touching he's right. I haven't sat in the BMW X3 but I don't think either one of them has a plush comfortable feel to them.
    So for long trips, both of them,as far as I'm concerned, lack a comfortable seat feel. But for that price point I certainly wouldn't want cheap plastic parts as in the BMW.
    For the functionality alone which to me is practicality when driving I'll take the Lexus all day long. Not to forget reliability on the Lexus as long as it's Japan made is still the best in the market. I will say compared to my Acura dealer Lexus needs to get their luxury car dealerships together.. I only have the one in Clearwater Fl to compare to, but it's terrible.. and feels like a low end dealership.
    The Dealership experience was what kept me going back to the Acura.. for that reason now I wish I stayed with an Acura. Lol...

I really like the exterior of the X3 especially in matte black. The interior is … uummm. Not a fan of this new trend of screens, makes the car not so stylish. This was a really good video comparison.

      @ BMW X5 is rated no1 on Consumer reports and 5/5on reliability, it has been in that spot for a few years. However i am aware of the high cost of repairs after warranty. I have been a Toyota/ Lexus client for a long time, my decisions at the time were solely based on reliability, however they have significantly changed some powertrain in various models (RX with 4 cyl!!!??? No thx) and cracks are forming in that armour however its probably just growing pains. There is on the other side of a decision to buy a car that was not as much as a factor that now is and it’s the fun factor like power, luxury, technology and ride comfort, my choice was limited at that point and i went with the X5 based on CR’s stunning rating and review.

I think the Lexus reliability and costs of repair/maintenance are a distinct advantage compared to the BMW.

    The instrument cluster on the NX is less straining, but I also feel like the customization on it is lacking. It's very 2010 feeling. There's no way I'd prefer that over the X3 screen. Everything else I prefer in lexus though. Maybe a bit more ambient lighting

    Another nice review Dustin. Currently I own 2016 RC 350 AWD Luxury package which I ordered and waited 5 months to arrive back in 2016. I love my car, a solid daily reliable car. Unfortunately, in a couple of years I may have to switch to a crossover because of their higher sitting position. The current Lexus design outlook does not look good to me at least. However, the Genesis GV70 caught my attention. In S. Korea the refreshed model with 27" OLED was introduced this summer and perhaps will become available in mid 2025 in USA. Have you done a comparison between NX and Genesis GV70? What do you think?

Reliability is certainly a big win for the Lexus, but overall sportiness, power and handling goes to the M50! Both are great cars for what their purpose serves! Go Steelers!!!! PS4L!!! It’s Lit!

    As an owner of RX450h 3 5 litre and driver of NX too, the new engines (2.5 turbo) are horrible and agricultural. Very unrefined, too. Lexus, if you dont do anything about this, you will lose customers. I would very possibly opt for mercedes GLE next time as BMW are very stiff on the seat. Not comfortable at all.

    In my oponion quite useless to compare a BMW with a Lexus, even the brands want to catch customers in the same pond. But basically the spirit of the brands are so diffferent. The lexus is more about the touch and feel, a cosy cabine more nice materials for sure compared to the kew X3, which might have some newer tech (not always so usefull actually) but its material use is really a step down now compared to the existing NX. Which still offers real leather., in the Bmw even.not possible anymore i think it's all sensatec, fancy name for plastic. Bmw is more performance oriented but yeah if we are honest these are suvs they are supposed to be practical and comfy in the first place. Taste is personal but Lexus is more classy, it ages better. And last but not least those active grills are the first thing that will fail.

    I sat in the new 2025 BMW X3 M50, and I took a video of the interior…Pressing on the passenger side portion of the dash there was severe creaking. I also noticed that the materials used along side the upper door panels were actually lifting away from the panel itself. Everything seemed glued on and very plasticky. No panoramic moonroof any longer. Just a fixed piece of glass that caused a lot of heat to come into the car very quickly. I was very underwhelmed at my experience, and the fact that BMW is not making a true M variant for this car. The interior lighting is very gimmicky, definitely does not feel upscale whatsoever.
