I have only seen one other M Sport in the Atlanta area, although I'm sure more exist. This adds a little bit of exclusivity to the vehicle, IMHO.
I haven't seen an e70 that I don't like. And I definitely wouldn't call an X5 a station wagon - even though that term doesn't offend me. I like a number of Audi's Avant offerings.

Correct X5-Carbon, I wasn't comparing the X5 to the Hyundai or Aztek SUVs. The point I was making was that you don't see this type of black plastic bumper/trim on any Mercedes, Porsche, Lexus, Land Rover or Audi SUVs, so why does BMW do it. The plastic trim is used on considerably cheaper SUVs, like the Aztek or Hyundai. Not the image I was looking for on a $70,000+ SUV.
