The new X5....
I wanted to hear feedback from others here. I currently have a 2002 X5 4.4 and I was thinking about upgrading to a 2007 4.8. I took my wife to the dealer this past weekend and after waiting almost 45 minutes...we got to go for a ride. The interior seems a little cheap in the new X5's and the back of the X5 looks almost identical to an X3. We have never liked the X3 due to the "Aztec" look it sometimes displays. We took the new X5 out for a spin and I really didn't feel the pull or the engine when accelerating....the sales guy didn't have a clue about the features and I was telling him more about the new X5's than he knew. The car floats along and doesn't give the feel of a BMW like our current X5. We also have all the toys in our current X5(camera, bluetooth, TV, etc..) and the new X5 requires multiple packages to provide the same kind of functionality. I must say I'm not too impressed and we may have to go check out the Cayenne to compare.... What does everyone else think?? I felt like the current 4.8 was slower than my 02 4.4.
