Agree, but she holds pretty well against other SUV's...there are faster ones (and a lot that are lighter) but few that can out handle her...in an era of 300hp minivans and mini suv's you definately need the 50i to ensure drag strip victory...my truck that's a 4x4 2500 with 35" tires and weights a few thousand pounds more will ruin my x5 (13.4 qtr mile) and almost anything just off the line(1.7 60' times)....granted it's not very green nor cool when i do a smokey boosted launch at a stop light so i have to choose my battles wisely.

The x5 is the best handling vehicle i've ever owned, but then again i'm comming from owning several trucks and suv's and never a car....so it's amazing for me....but sure it's a tank coming from a sportscar background.

A kill is a kill and feels good when someone else starts it...granted i try to be responsible, but some people have it comming....
