I do see the 08 550 having more of the latest options but somehow here in North America, bigger and higher the ride the better it is for many, including myself. |
Ahh, I would agree with none of that
X5 and 550 have zippy comparison. One is a SUV, the other a sports sedan. I have a E60 and E53, both are awesome in COMPLETELY different ways. The X5 allows you to take great road trips with lots of stuff in complete comfort, whereas the 5 allows you day to day fun in the twisties and great acceleration with much better MPG then the X (if you have a manual  )
The two feel nothing alike on the road. My advice....buy both
