Change of Pace

Since I joined this forum a few weeks ago, it seems like a ton of doom and gloom. Tons of topics on negative experiences or expensive repairs.

Figured I'd try to switch it up.

What is it that you love about your X5? What keeps you hooked?

For me it's the look of the thing. I always find myself looked back when walking away from the SAV in a parking lot, or staring at it as I'm approaching. BMW hit the nail on the head with the design of the E53 X5. There isn't an SUV or SAV on the road that's sexier in my opinion.

It's also the way it drives. My Mom has my old 330ci vert with the sport package. I could swear sometimes when I'm in my X that I'm in that convertible. I've never driven an SUV that handled as close to a sports car as the X5.

The exhaust note of my 4.4 N62. People keep asking when I'm doing an exhaust. My answer is never. I love the low grumble of the stock exhaust, another area that BMW hit it out of the park.

So let's hear some other Positive things that you love about your X5.
