I do agree with you on the driving dynamics, I think the E60 has better driving dynamics than the E70 will achieve, simply due to the weight and CoG issues.

first off i wasn't asking about the e60 touring. station wagon>SAV>station wagon>SAV ad infinitum. the point is that none of the stuff i see people stressing over has anything to do with what makes BMW in general and the X5 specifically special in the market place. i am becoming convinced that the heart and soul of a BMW automobile could be ripped right out and some would not notice as long as it looked good and the tailgate opens without discernible effort. <psst don't forget about the third row> merely my observation, i reserve the right to be wrong. By the way does any Sport Utility Vehicle with a two piece tailgate open fully automatically?
