SUV's (sorry SAV'sincluded) are NOT race cars.

You know, I totally agree with you, and every time I have tried to justify the extra money/insurance/registration/etc. spent on a V8 for my everyday purposes, I can't.

But there is still that part of me that wishes there were a bit more acceleration available when I need it (perhaps a couple of times a week.) With power, more is always better.

Can you tell me which one looks/feels bigger inside?? For some reason, E70 'feels' smaller inside than my E53 does. I have not had a chance to sit in them back to back to compare the two in one session, but I can swear my E53 feels bigger inside than E70 does (at least from drivers seat looking forward or towards the passenger.)

May be it is all in my head, or perhaps a difference between dash layout? I know numbers wise E70 is bigger.
