Just took delivery of a new X-5 5.0 replacing the wife's 2007 4.8. This is the fifth X-5 she's owned (three E53s 2001 4.4, 2003 4.6, 2005 4.8 and 2007 E70 4.8) and this is by far the best X5. Performance is better, ergonomics are greatly improved and the eight speed transmission is magnificent. Thanks BMW for a great vehicle.
