Which car to replace my BMW 525 which offers performance and a higher driving position?

I wish to replace my BMW 525 with a vehicle that gives me a higher driving position but would like to retain the space, performance and comfort I get from my current car. I have ruled out the X5 as too expensive and the X3 seems small, though I see they do use the six-cylinder engine on some models. I am happy to move away from BMW.
