X5 3.5d - No Sleeper

After putting more than 200k on a 1987 MB 300TD - the only time Mercedes put a turbocharged I6 engine in the states, the X5 is, by comparison a race horse!

Between the great comfort of the seats and the (mostly) great ride, it's easy to "gently accelerate" and suddenly you're going 90 ~ all in serene silence (with the pararamic fully open, but the sunroof closed. That's at freeway speeds. But it can also leap from a standing start, too. There's nothing but smiles on our end!
