BMW is no doubt more sporty and stiffer suspension. The GL 3rd row is my main driving factor - seats I can actually use as opposed to the X5. As well, the 2nd row is a little more spacious and the rear dvd + harmon kardon sound system, blow my X5 away. Germans are germans, but the MB is I'd say a little more classy and the X5 is a little more sporty.

In all fairness, you can't compare the GL to the X5 - two different sized vehicles. BMW does not have anything to compete with the GL, nor the R for that matter. The "3rd row jump seats" are a joke in the X5. I currently have an 08 ML350. Nice truck but it's no X5 - not even close. Side note, I find the sound of the premium sound system in the X5 superior to the HK that MB offers. Different strokes for different folks, folks!
