Just saying that Buick hits all the points you mentioned before as shortfalls in the BMW. I bet you may like to drive it if you couldn't see the emblem.

Not surprised on your opinions on MB. Traditionally, BMW's are performance oriented, MB is luxury oriented. Was it a first gen ML? If so, it was truck based.

Yeah you're right. <Typed with head held down>

It was a 2007 ML350

Also, don't forget that after you push the key fob on your new Acura, step on your new running boards, put your destination in the navigation system, plug in your MP3 player, watch yourself back up via the cameras, turn up the premium stereo and grab your sunglasses out of the handy holder...you still have to drive and in that respect BMW (is far) > Acura.

Ouch!!!!! Just for saying that I am going to pull up right beside you pumping some R&B and watch the younger girls (18>) jump in my ride! What!!!??

Wow.. I never feel like I am safe in the X5. It is one of the weakest SUV's I have driven (as far as body strength goes) and in no way feels like a tank to me. Maybe that's because I have driven a Denali for quite some time among other SUV's such as the Range Rover and G55.

I DISAGREE

X5 would own the MDX any day as far as looks go, and picking up girls.
Acura Vs. BMW, BMW will always win.

I DISAGREE AGAIN

I was never too impressed with the MDX system 2009<. But the way you are saying the Mark Levinson is, I did not find ours to be that good. We have a RX400h with the high-end sound system and never really liked it. I still like my Bose best.

Glad to see you found something that fits you...Personally I dislike where BMW has gone with it's interior in most models...except the 1er which still looks somewhat old school

I consider myself somewhat lucky...I am not into all the extras starting from back-up sensors to 'electronic oil dip stick' and i-pod integration stuff...I still very much enjoy the E53 interior...and despite the many problems i've had along with time and money i've put into it I sill enjoy driving it more than anything

I'll be waiting for an aggressive interior again before I go on to bye a new bimmer

And BTW good luck with the new car

I have 2006 Acura RL and its stereo blows away my X5's stereo. Granted, my X5 doesn't have Logic 7, but I've heard Logic 7 in both 335i and 750i, and Acura RL stereo still sounded more detailed (a bit weaker bass though). So when someone says 2010 MDX stereo sounding good, I do not doubt it much, although, MDX stereo is rather a cheaper 5.1 version compared to RLs (Bose 5.1).

It is hard to imagine MDX having better driving dynamics than RL. With that said, when I get into my X5, I feel like getting into a sports car compare to RL. So I can imagine how MDX would feel in comparison. With that said, MDX may be a good car for others but it would not be my choice.

All of your concerns/issues have been around for a couple years---I'm sure you researched some of these so none of it should have been a surprise for you once you go it. Good luck with the Acura.
