Wouldn't a comparison with the ML550 be more realistic to the X5?? I have never driven one but seems to me that would be the way to go??

I don't know how Benz is currently on reliability but it always amazes me that people say with German cars you have to expect reliability issues because they are so complex. Well how about Porsche?? There reliability is towards the best and I am sure they are complex also. Seems to me BMW just brings newer stuff out to quick without checking it out. They more or less think the customer can give them feedback. Just my opinion.
