This months Roundel
This months issue features: X3 vs RDX and X5 vs MDX and as a bonus, X5 4.8 vs new Audi Q7.
Since that seems to be a popular topic on this board...for whatever reason...
So this should be even more reason for those of you that don't belong to BMWCCA to join. It is a member perk.
Here is a quick hit:
X3 was very surprising against the RDX.
X5 was at a loss to the handling of the new MDX as well as, to quote:

Acura's previous MDX was nothing more then a warmed-over Honda Pilot. But the new machine, sporting an extremely capable and demonstratively effective all-wheel-drive system and a far livelier motor that offers better performance than its BMW competitor is much more vehicle---and at a price 25% less than the BMW, it represents not only a great value but a very compelling competitor indeed.

Q7 4.2 vs X5 4.8:
Quote:
Dynamically, the Q7 is a strong performer - but it doesn't quite match the power and handling package that the new X5 4.8i brings to the table. Despite its weight, the X5 feels noticeably more athletic than the Q7 and is more entertaining to drive quickly on a twisty stretch of road. ........
The only real advantage the Q7 has over the X5 is price and cargo room....
