    i dont understand why people need to splurge that amount of cash for a suv, if you are gonna get a bmw get a good one.

        We had one, it was the wifes, she loved it. no complaints. She now has a 135 but says she misses the X5. Get the V8 if your going to get an X5.

            Haha, I appreciate all the non SUV posts, but now that I'm a family man and all, I need the extra room.

            Plus I need it for my new X5bang site...

                the m5 is honestly as roomy as an x5. i dont know why people think SUV's are roomier.. maybe the trunk? but ive seen some 4 doors sedans fit more people/cargo than SUV....

                the x5 is probably a 5 seater? so is the m5.. the ONLY thing you might lose is a little trunk space, but then again i doubt it..

                      I had a x5 4.4I for 5 years. It was great until the final year when stupid electric things went wrong and cost me $$ a warranty expired after 4 years.
                      It the best sports utility in my opinion. However we have a Mazda CX9 Grand Touring right now as our family car and its great. Drives & equipped like a premium suv at nearly 1/2 the price.

                      When I owned a Porsche they would give me a cayenne as a loaner and I was not that impressed. BMW was a better car...

                        and the smg gearbox is a pos as a daily driver... rest of the car is great.

                            I just saw Top Gear last week, they were testing an M5 station. Now that's a family car ;-)

                              I hate the looks of the X5, get an X6 instead, fresh, new, and awesome car!

                                    what year are you looking at? i just went through this whole endevor about two months ago.

                                    I was going between an X5, Range Rover, GMC Yukon and Escalade. IMO the MBenz is complete shit unless you are looking at one that is about 1-2 years old tops.

                                    I drove the X5 and didnt like it. Option wise, was completely lacking what the Yukon/Esclada had and was $8k more. Plus its hard to do any aftermarket work to it, such as lift kit, off road stuff, etc. even rear entertainment package.

                                    I looked at the Range Rover and since it wouldnt be my main car, I passed. Dont get me wrong, they are nice but not worth the $$ for a secondary car. I went to look at GMC brand, since I had a lot of friends with them and found a really sweet Z71 Tahoe that had more options than a Yukon. Caddy, IMO, you are just paying for the price.

                                    If your open minded, check out the late model Yukon/Tahoes they are pretty nice and a LOT more room than the X5
