So, with this mind how about a 'glass half full' thread; Things we like about the X5?

I'll start it off, and please bear in mind my previous car was the E70 SE with steel springs

1- Quality fit & finish - Far higher than any other BMW I have owned or 'she who must be obeyed' RR
2. Ride - Bloody Great. Love the Adaptive Suspension
3. Sport Mode - FANTASTIC! Used it today on a wet, muddy country road and felt like The Boss 'Born To Run'
4. IDrive & Multi Media - Still the best User Interface - IMO
Could go on but will leave it there

Like them all, too. Plus,

11. The cool looking corona rings are with a more squarish shape than the traditional round headlights. This makes cars look much much better.
Totally agree. F15 LCI very likely to have OLED I suspect! What was suppose to be a safety feature has become a poignant signature for many cars. The F15 lights with the LED eyebrow looks amazing. I watched one go buy at the supermarket and ran the trolley over my foot because I was so distracted.
