I've looked at both the X3 and the X5, and it appears that the X3 actually has more usable trunk space (but the X5 will, of course, have more passenger room). Obviously, options are more varied on the X5, but things like the HUD and IP interface seem to be older versions than available on the X3. In regards to the X3 Sport Package - did you find that the ride became uncomfortable as a daily commuter? Did you try it with the Dynamic Damper Control and did that seem to have any effect? You mentioned the sports suspension should be tested as prior to purchase - did you try the dynamic dampeners?

Not sure if the X3 we had, featured this. The advice still stands, you really need to drive these vehicles with and without the sport package etc, to see it the ride is acceptable to you. This is very personal taste issue, so due diligence is required.
The new X3 is a better all around package for many people but is not available with the fantastic diesel engine that is found in the X5.
