The X5 has much more of a sports car feel...tighter turns...all round more fun to drive, can zip in in out of traffic if needed.
The GX reminds me of a big Caddy...nice, loads of room, loads of power great ride...but I find my self not jumping in and out of traffic as it is a much bigger SUV.

To me it boils down to the GX is a truck based SUV - bigger, heavier, much more room, etc. and the X5 is more of as BMW says a SAV...stiffer suspension (my X5 has the sports pkg, the GX has the adjustable sports suspension too) as I said before X5 is a little more fun to drive, the X5 is a great SAV...
The RX330 that we had was more of a SUV on a car platform which it was...great ride just not much of a SUV feel more of a mini van feel...kind of.
The one thing in the Lexus I can say I get much more of a WOW factor when people see it vs. the BMW. Now sure I have had people give the...BMW looks...but the Lexus gets more attention than the X5 for sure...and feels at least to me like more of a Luxury SUV then the BMW X5. I have driven the new X5's too just not the same feel as the Luxury that Lexus offers, however the X5 is much more of a drivers car as stated loads of times...trying not to get flamed here just offering my honest opinion.

By the way here is the most fun thing I have in my garage to drive anyway!
