IMHO: I think it is the over hangs and shorter wheel base that makes the E53 look lighter, tighter, and more "Muscular", if that is the right phrase. Looks like a SUV with tennis shoes instead of large and bulky.
I drove a new X5M a few weeks ago, too big, too much $$ to tie up in a fast depreciating asset, with not a lot of driver experience from the ride. I will hang on to my SAV Beast a while longer. As all it takes is a few hundred a year to fix what ails it. Cheaper to pay for a repair ticket on the valve seals than it would be a year of car payments. Everything else I can do my self.
