8.5
Great SUV, so-so BMW. I am seriously considering a move to a 5 series. It's been much more SUV-ish than I hoped it would be. Pleasure to drive - but its bizarre shift points and hard to evenly manage brakes leave a lot to be desired.

Bah!
I give it a 9.8. For a few reasons..... I LOVE starting it every day. That RaWHUMP is to die for. I was hauling five passengers the other day in some "spirited" driving and obtained the respect of all passengers. They were truely impressed. It is the best looking wagon ( i say that in the best way possible ) out there. My one caveat, It deserves more POWER! at least 425. Ill have it there soon enough "insert mischievious grin here" Oh, and the stereo sucks.... but all in all it rocks. That and its a great family beater.... as close to a convertible that I could have until my son gets a bit older.

Probably the best car I have ever owned..
I rate it an 11. Is almost as fast as my Porsche, handles almost as well too. And you can fit groceries and a 3 passengers.. Not to mention it is very comfortable. What more could you ask for.. The only thing I could ask for is a clutch and a manual transmission. B

I've only had it about a month, but I'd have to say 9. Mileage has been around 14. I think it has almost perfect balance of car-like performance and utility of a truck.

I'd give it an 8..mainly because there are no 10s and to get in 9 in my book it would need some serious power improvements. Not saying its slow..at all. But if you dropped the 507hp V10 from the e60M5 than you have a 9 out of 10.
This is when you are considering it against ALL other vehicles out there. If you limit the field to SUV's or other family haulers it is a most definitely a 10!! Hell it's 5100 lbs and you can fling it around a corner like it was a coupe! Shit enough typing..I gotta go drive! Good luck on what ever you end up with!

again, I wanted to thank all of you for your honest replies. Another question I wanted to ask is, how comfortable are your 4.8is's for the daily commute, especially over crappy roads? my m3 gets a little beaten up in the nyc area. i recently test drove a lexus (did I just day lexus??!?!) 400h, the car was pretty nice, gets the mileage and the whole thing, was comfortable and was kind of fast. but yes, I am drawn to the 4.8is but it has to be comfortable on the fdr and third avenue bridge...thanks again,
evan
