deutsch100 is on a distinguished road
2011 X5 vs. 2011 GL550

I test drove a new 2011 GL550 today....382hp, 391 torque. AMG 21" wheels, running boards, all options, incl. camera pkg, comfort access, UV/Solar glass, heated/cooled seats, LED taillamps and exterior bulbs, nappa leather everywhere incl. the dash and doors, Rear DVD systems for the kiddos, power rear hatch... MSRP $89k

Anyone own a GL? Like it? We have 2 neighbors that have one (a 450 and a 550)...and they love it (but they are not very picky and not really into cars).

My X is driving me f'ing nuts! Today I got the excessive battery discharge warning (but no other warning lights) and yesterday while driving, 2 times the symbol that shows a key with a line thru it (the symbol that displays if you walk away from the car with comfort access, and the car is running & parked it lets you know). But, I was physically driving, on the freeway, and the car is telling me the key is not detected. And the seat crack/snap is honestly getting worse, it's now starting to do it randomly on smooth roads, without cornering or flexing the chassis. My patience is really being tested!!
