2. Lot of discussions about RFT on this forum. My ride, with RFT, is a little harsher but I think that's the Sport suspension too. I like driving (except in slow traffic) so the road feel is something that I like. Same reasoning around me getting the sports seats rather than the luxury seat option.

You mentioned MB as an option. In my town, that SUV, is by far the most common "luxury" SUV that house-wives drive. My 15-year old thinks that the MB ML range is "girly".


OP did not mention what config and what size wheels he has on his X5. If I am coming from a M3 I will make sure the car has sports package and adaptive drive.
