Heck, my Mother's 2008 Ford Taurus has better i-pod integration, sound system, a better self-dimming rear view mirror, and even has small touches, like illuminated window switches and a temperature gauge, that the X5 lacks.
How dare you say something negative about the coveted BMW X5! Now apologize right now because there are some on this board who will have your head on a platter with that kind of foolish talk!!
