CGSTL is on a distinguished road
Two totally different beasts. I had a 540 for three years then switched to an X5. The 550 is a road rocket compared to the X5; however, for an SUV, the X5 is the best out there.

If she's already in an M3 I would transition her to the 550 with a couple of kiddie seats in the back. The X5 would be most useful if you have larger kids that require more space for sports equipment, etc., to be tossed in the back. X5 is a much larger auto.

Does she happen to be a soccer mom?

I will wait for the 2008 X5 spec sheet and if it is not there I am leaning towards the 550, but it will be the wives decision as it will be here ride. She currently drives a M3 CIC, but she need a baby hauler. Yeah I know the X5 will do a better job.
