From that angle they both do.
One just looks 20 years older as all vehicles have gotten larger.
I appreciate my E53 for sure, but for a daily, our heavily equipped F15 is tough to beat. With adaptive handling and drive, air suspension, you can have a soft planted driver for highway miling or a stiffer/tighter one for having fun. N57 is not much slower than the N62 either, about half a second 0-60. But will return 30+mpg. Best ever in the N62 was 21mpg, one time. Must have been downhill with a tail wind.
Just my .02 though, I like my E53 tremendously obviously. And if I had to sell all the X5's but one... the E70 and the F15 would be leaving. But that's mostly because of the E53 being imola red, a 4.8is, having Dinan goodies, and having the aero kit on it. Not many of those out there. All 3 chassis have their pluses and minuses. The E53 feels old compared to the E70 and downright ancient compared to the F15.
