Yeah, it's a weight thing. At 5000lbs, you are ALOT heavier than the cars you listed. You might want to get off the gas pedal a little earlier to bleed off some inertia. OOPS! I just noticed the NYC location. Sorry, Now I have to warn you to be carefull no one rams you from behind because you brake better than them. The problem is the traffic, not the X5.
