i understand why we give biased opinions when comparing X5 to other high end SUVs. but sometimes we have to admit that there are whole bunch of SUVs (merc, porchse, audi...) that are far better than the X. why keep praising the X on performance, "fun" while others offer a lot more of it. if you comparing ML to E70 same year, the ML offers much more quiet and softer ride. on the Sport side, X5 can't compare to GTS period. go drive it, you will see the fun you have in E70 is no where near the fun in GTS. E70 X5 is just another brand name SUV.
