The only looks i get are when i am heading to iowa on I88 and i am doing 90-95 all the way. They are from people driving Cadillacs, 3 series, e350's, mustangs, and the occasional camaro doing 75 in the left lane and don't feel the need to get over for faster Trucks. haha I cannot wait till I can pass them with 400hp instead of 350hp.

I really don't pay much attention, but while on vacation this Summer we were stopped at Little America and as we got out of the stock Space Grey (but de-badged) X5, a couple of young guys going to their car said "Cool vehicle."

I get a ton of looks...I think it's because the M Sport Package makes the X5 stand out from the non-M Sports. Also, the 20" wheels are pretty unique.

Last weekend I was at the gas station and there was a guy in a black Porsche Cayenne S (Florida plates) checking out my X5. He looked just like Asante Samuel...it may have been him, I'm not sure.

Now that I have the 4.8 w/ Sport, I notice I get a lot of looks from the othe X drivers. Didn't realize all the subtle differences, but I'm loving mine.

AwesomeM3 - I saw your wheels yesterday on an Msport and love them!! I got compliments on my 214's, not so much on the Msport standard 19" rim.

I get compliments all the time, but then again, i'm in college. It's a rare car to see on campus, especially up here in the middle of nowhere. If you mod your car correctly i think you can get looks

same here although ours is bone stock, i get compliments and comments every single time I get out of my e70..most of the time due to my age (25)

generally ranging from:
-sweet ride! so what is it that you do exactly to afford a car like that?

my general response is something you don't want to know

-people staring wondering if its daddy's car.

and the best one from my friend..

"damn..i've always wanted one of them! when I have kids.."
go figure it was a girl whom said that..

blue dragon will become famous soon enough
Had nothing but compliments on the truck. Mine has the Aero kit with custom wheels so maybe thats why.
