The spouse debated for several months about getting the new 7 seat X5 loaded out. She even drove my 4.8 a few times to get a feel for it. When it came down to it.. she balked.. cant get her out of these 5 series. The way they handle and the power, i hear from the BMW techs that the new 550 is much faster than her 545. Just going from 4.4 to 4.8. Oh well, i'll wait a few years and get one with the sport package.
