You must have a low 'fun factor' threshold.....they are worlds apart.
Actually, I have a high "fun Factor threshold." I LOVED driving my 550 HARD, but I know they're two different types of vehicles with different capabilities. I wasn't saying the 550 and X5 are equals. When I left my FX35 for the 550 I really missed the room, cargo room and ride height. My point is I now have those things I missed in a vehicle that impresses me more and more each day. I realize the X5 is a true performer and much better than my FX35.

What's funny is I understand why insurance is cheaper for SUV's. When I was in my 550 I drove it hard 85% of the time. Now in my X5 I cruise 85% of the time and enjoy the view. It's weird, but sometimes I catch myself and smile.
