Bmw X5

On the verge of buying one... anyone have one? Love it? Hate it? I took a 6 cylinder out for a drive... drove great... felt maybe a little underpowered but I don't buy SUV's because I want a sports car.. need the space!

The X5 drives really well for a SUV. I would recommend that one or the Porsche Cayenne. If you want one that isn't quite as sporty but still very nice the ML350.

Good choice! I like how the new one looks and it handles pretty darn well too. Personally I think the V6 is an environmentally concious choice over the V8 and provides more than enough power for 90% of the situations.

Also, X5 has always come with the XDrive as standard so no need to worry there.

Congrats on the new purchase, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

I love BMW's and have had a succession of them. My only issue, without being too judgemental, is that I would not want to drive around 5000 lbs every time I go somewhere. Not just a BMW issue, it's a large SUV issue, but X5 and X6 handle with the best of them.

Ive owned an X5 , the 2004 model for about 2 years.. Great car, powerful .. I dont recomend it unless you are buying a brand new one.

True, it does feel claustrophobic at times...

Ive driven the FX50 Infiniti, its awesome .. it feels like a car, excellent grip, very powerful .. looks SEXY... Extremely good grip on the road ..

If you want space, i would recommend the Chevrolet Tahoe . The new one is just great .. Great space, comfy and spacious ..
