Hi all.

Just picked up our new/old X5 this morning. I can't believe I finally succumbed and bought a BMW. My father absolutely will not stray from them...as much as I tried to convince him...lol, so we bought his old X5 and he picked up a new X6. We're just putting too many miles on our other vehicles that we decided we needed another one.

Interior is a little dated and plain compared to our ML and IS F, but it is adequate for what we need it for. The power of the 4.4 is impressive, and of course, being a BMW, the handling is fantastic. The wind noise and ride quality are significantly worse than our MB.

There have been many mechanical repairs and upgrades so hopefully we won't have any reliability issues...lol.

I hated it UNTIL I drove one a few years ago. It really got my respect after that. With your wheels it can off-road too, its pretty capable.
Nice pick up. Your pops got a X6? No comment

yeah the x5 has good handling, but i think the q7 is even better

nice car nonetheless, very handsome suv imho

Lol...thanks...I tried to talk him into a Q7 but he would have nothing to do with it...he loves his Bimmers. Didn't help that the dealer's rep was a moron.
