Have just spent a Sat a.m. at the local BMW showroom, ostensibly to view the bikes and take a test ride (uninteresting and elephantine, never liked 'em, and very dubious handling on today's wet concrete roads -- c of g too high IMO and riding position designed for a double jointed Draconian dwarf with no thought given to accommodating the beer belly) but had another look at the X5. These are increasingly blighting our shores and being irritatingly double-parked outside my favourite bars by the family drivers of teenage sons of congressmen, along with its wretched sibling the X3.
Not the first time I concluded what an overpriced tribute to the God of Bland.
Appearance: think RAV4 before the Atkins Diet.
Price: 3 X that of a full-size SUV.
Presence: none, except to say I've got more money than you have (or a longer credit line).
'Nuff said.

Agree wholeheartedly. BMW should stick to doing what they do best, fast comfortable sports saloons. If I want a 4wd I will buy a Solihull product.
