thanks for the feedback... i agree on the sportier feel. the RRS just feels big and bloated not as agile as the X5M but the interior quality, fit and finish are much nicer and everything feels well constructed. on the previous x5 i owned it had the m-sport function among many other options and lots of trim pieces started to peel and wear very quickly. which seems to be par for the course with bmw and the other ones i owned.
