At first glance i thought this was going to a terrible post...until I read it!

Great thought my friend. Although I would still keep the xDrive in ours, I could see how others (like you) would prefer a two-wheel drive configuration.

Also, you should change the title of your post from "2WD X5" to "RWD X5 with BMW's signature balance and performance"!!! It would be a blast to drive with the V8!
