I agree with you also. The sis in law's 330xi is a ton of fun for the speed and the growly engine sound. I just like the extra weight the X5 gives me. Like you were saying, it feels more comfortable on the road to me. I came from a 180 hp 4 Runner, so the X feels plenty strong to me

I prob wouldn't say flimsy. I think it's well built in that it's not a rattle trap over the highway seams. Maybe our comparo is more like apples and oranges than flimsy or not?? We'll have to wait on CJ to give us an expert review

BTW - :p
