Same length and height as your RX330, two inches wider. 1.5 inches more headroom and 2 inches more legroom in the front seat, 2nd row is roughly the same (0.5 in more headroom).

Yesterday I drove this X3 M40i. It is a 2021 model-year car with only a hair over 3700 miles on the odometer. My wife and I have been toying with the idea of replacing one of our cars with something like this car, and honestly, the X3 was top of the list.
This thing drives fantastically. The steering is not typical-BMW vague, with nice "medium" weighting and decent feel. The ride is not overly soft, but also masks most minor road imperfections. The engine sounds glorious, too, and responds willingly with the help of the ZF 8-speed auto. It fires off rapid shifts in "S" transmission mode as well. It's a hoot.
Not 100% sure we'll go through with it, but it's a great deal for a car that's basically still showroom-fresh.

LA Autoshow is a massive worldwide event. I've never heard about a Vancouver auto show.

I grew up in ATL (Buckhead) and my family all still lives there. I now live in Seattle and go to Vancouver at least once a year. ATL and LA are significantly flashier in my opinion...it's as if Vancouver goes straight to the hypercar/ultra rare cars and doesn't care much for the in between.
