The fact that the X5 is a jack of all trades is the reason I bought it. It's capable of hauling anything that needs hauling, will work as a tow vehicle for my autocross car when needed, is comfortable enough to drive every day and will give many performance cars a run for their money when the road gets twisty. If I'd had room for more toys, my ideal setup would be an F-150 Ecoboost for towing/hauling and some sort of 5 series as a daily driver (can anyone say E34 M5? ), but now that my stepdaughter's driving and taking up an additional parking space that's not gonna happen. The only downsides are that it's heavy (though there's so much grip it becomes more like a challenge when driving fast), thirsty, and my wife keeps stealing it to go to work because she likes it so much.
