whole different type of car. I had two E46's and loved them both but they don't have the "weight" the X5 does or the ride height, which makes the X seem more solid. However..I have seen many an accident survivor who says "..if it wasn't for the fact that it was a BMW I would have been seriously hurt". Once such remark came from a lady who had the entire front end of her car ripped off by a Volvo running a red light, she left the accident without a scratch.
