IMHO & FWIW Save your money. I rode the 2015 model X5 at the CIMA show (See my post #309 above). Here's my 0.10c worth of advice.

IMO you'd be better off buying a new or near new/used Jap...

I had a test ride on the X5 at the CIMA show last month in ChongQing, at the Shineray test circuit. A few different manufacturers had test areas outside the pavilions. The RX3 was on display but no...
