Off topic... You are going to love the X5 as a tow rig. I haul my 328 to the track on a featherlite dual axle with electric brakes. It tows as good or better than my F150 did.

I've driven the XC90. The X5 handles much better and I like the interior layout and look. YMMV.
Longest vehicle I've owned in a while. 16 months. Read, I haven't gotten bored with it.
