Coming out of an 03' Range Rover (BMW 4.4 V8), the X5 3.0 with Sport Pkg seems quicker to me in every way. If I want to drive fast and hard, the X5 would be the last set of keys in the stable I would reach for. I really like the X5 3.0 for what it is. That said, I cannot wait for the 3.0sd to be released in the US for more torqu, better gas mileage AND with the urea injection, better for the environment.
