What is a dirt road? Dust on the wheels? Criminal!
Most X5 owners stay on hard surface roads as they were looking for extreme performance or a capable family hauler when they purchase these vehicles. Adventure around the corner with a Sports activity vehicle. Dry, wet, snow, and a bike rack ....or so showed the ads.
Now that we are all 10 years or older I think some of the Xers are finding new life as "hard use" vehicles. Some are even showing up on the drag strip. Running these vehicles in heavy off road usage I might choose a Jeep or a four wheel drive P/U as there are a lot more of them and rock crawling parts are readily available.
Pick a vehicle that meets your needs and plans. You will be happier in the long run.
I don't even like gravel parking lots due to the dirt and dust.
