Test drove 3.0 today... disappointed w/ power

Maybe it isn't the car but the driver. The 3.0 has ample power and acceleration. If after a test drive you don't like it, then go buy something else.

Well, X5 3.0si is one of the slowest in the current BMW fleet, so it may be underpowered...

But to me, it is not!!

If BMW offered a V12 in the X5 people would be saying how "underpowered" the V8 was. More power always feels better. I have the 3.0 and think the power is great for the daily drive. It's like plates at a buffet - some think they're always too small.....
