'Sport' in relation to an X5 is just a marketing term.

If you bought your X5 with terrain abilities and towing as topping the list well...hmnn...
... wrong car buddy!
Let me say this, X5 doesnt have much room for carrying stuff anyway maybe mine, low profile tires definately not the greatest tires for rock climbing in the world!, therefore, when one comes with a staggered 20" wheels these BMW guys are just saying keep away from the damn rocks! Iam in Africa where snow is... well... as hard to get as a diamond so my car has all year round 20" wheels on, till death do us part!
Now you remove "Sport" from X5 as a sales gimmick.... ha ha ha... do you really listen to yourself!
Man! dont stand behind my 4 pipes when I shoot off.. definately it would a be Knock Out and I might even be charged for manslaughter for letting you stand behind my car..sorry murder weapon in this case, did I mention Steptronic abilities?! specifically designed for HIGH performance... not for climbing rocks!
Seriously, X5 is not an offroader and towing caravans! not to mention climbing rocks!
