Well, further to the 'utility' aspect of the X5M, whether or not it has third row seating:

It has as standard, Trailer Stability Control, which means they kept that feature in even as they revised the DSC settings for the M model. Optionally, it has a trailer hitch. Here is the cool part: the X5M hitch ball swivels electrically, presumably to hide itself behind the rear apron. The X6M has to make do with a manually-removable trailer hitch ball.

I can see the M purists spinning out of control. An M with a trailer behind it. Might have to actually go and look at one of these. Given that the M5 with some options is $125 CDN before taxes, I figure an X5M will be over $130 here.

Electric trailer hitch has been on the 7 series for a while now. The idea was that it integrates with the rear view camera. Personally I don't get the logic behind a trailer hitch on this car and no roof rails. Weird.
