If you actually read the review he says it handles and rides better than the E53 and then spends the rest of the time talking about how 4x4's are too big for London which is nothing to do with the X5 specifically. He then decides he'd prefer either the ML63 or a Range Rover both of whcih are considerably more expensive than the X5 and not a true comparison.

I'd like to see what a kerb would do to an ML63's wheels with the tyres they have on them.

He rights sensationalist columns to amuse the masses and sell his books and DVD's. And he's always hated BMW's........
