X5M is not built to compare against your M3, it's built to compare, and crush, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Mercedes GL63 AMG.
Exactly that. While some purists may not approve of the X5M and X6M, the sales can't be ignored. It was the same story with Porsche when the Cayenne came out. The purists were up in arms, but Cayenne sales brought in the cash to keep numerous 911 variants going. If sales of the M SAV's help bring in funding for other M models, I'm all for it.
