Good write up - most of your observations were in line with my own opinions in fact.

My only major point of disagreement is on the audio. If you had an HK Logic 7 equipped car, you would see it blasts away anything the X5 can offer (Biz or audiophile).

The rear seats and trunk are, indeed, a joke. I don't think they've improved on that front. I had an E46 330i before the X5, so I can safely tell you this.

The power is impressive however. Makes the X5 seem kind of sluggish. Like it gets up to speed, but with effort moving those 4000lb+.
