I realise y`all think the X5 is an awsome machine but that`s because y`all used to driving big wobbly yank tanks .
no matter , the X5 does feel like driving a van , albeit a medium sized van but like a van nonetheless . a Land Rover feels like a Land rover , a Landcruiser like a truck , X5 like a van , nuff said .

No argument from me, when we say van over here, it's more like a Surburban or one of these:
I've been to the UK enough times to realize that most of the secondary roads are just paved over cow paths lol. I couldn't imagine driving a Chevy Suburban over there, and it would be suicide to try it around Paris or Amsterdam with the narrow streets. I drove a 3 series from London to the Cotswalds a couple of times, and I've been to Swindon more times than I care to admit. (Yes, I know you're in Scotland, but most of my UK driving is in England and Ireland).
You will have to point out the Scottish Auto manufacturers to me though
