2007 bmw x5
 

what do you think about this suv? how does it compare to it's competition?

Which engine?

2007 bmw 3.0si with sport package. the dad was lookin at getting one cuz he wants something sportier than say a pathfinder or pilot and also wants some curb appeal.. so yeah like is it pretty good for it's class? ml..escalade..range..any of those compare?

Had several bimmers but the X5 has never done it for me. I like SUVs that can be taken off road or want a car that performs on the road.

so you're saying it's no good on the road?

Naaa, not saying that. It is good on the road compared to most SUVs. I just do not care about an SUV being good on the road. My wife's LX is comfy like a Escalade yet gets me too some steams to fish that other vehicles would have trouble with. Yet none of those SUVs behave like a 5 series does on the road. I think BMW is finally getting it right with their Gran Turismo. Too bad it will be a while before it hits the road. SUV like room yet great handling.

My old Infiniti QX4 rode nice on the road and was amazing offroading.

I had one and agree. Was a nice outfitted Pathfinder.

so back to the orig question.. is it better than all the other luxury suvs? like obvs you guys would take an e class or 5 series over an suv but i mean let's compare apples to apples.. im askin cuz you're all enthusiasts and i could use some tips before dropping 50 large
