My X5 is feeling old

Hi !

Some background.
I've had my 2002 4.6is over a year now and it has less than 40k in ODO, it's running smoothly without problems.

But, 6 months ago I bought ML350 2006. Sure, it has soft suspension and not as much HP but it is a great family car, lots of space and comfortable suspension, the HiFi sound system is superior to X5s, navigation is easier to operate and the ML even consumes less gas than the X5. And, when you close the door you can hear it closing smoothly, opposite to X5's hard sound.

I use my X rather rarely, mostly when I go play icehockey and need the trunk space, as I have a third car, a convertible which is so much fun to drive on summer time.

Ok, now you started to hate me for making X look bad

Well here's the closure...

Even though the X feels old, the HiFi sound system is still decent, and well, at least it has a navigation system, but, the X handles well, it's so nimble and feels small compared to ML, and the rough suspension makes the X sit in corners so well, and the engine, sooo good, feel the power, feel the torque, it's screaming to push it
It's getting old but it's MY car
