Same here ... think about what type of vehicle you are buying. It's a BIG X5. Not a 6 series. We got the X5 because we have three kids. I would never buy a car like this for just a single adult driver with the occasional passenger (I know some do though). For what it is used for, it has plenty of power. Compare it to something like a Volvo XC90 or a Discovey, and the X5 leaves them standing. 0-62mph in the 3.0 Diesel X5 is 8.1 seconds. I used to own a Jaguar XJ8 which achieved the same identical figure. This is no slow coach!
