New to X5s, and I love them so far- this look like it would be a GREAT family (2 large akitas and a small wife) trip car to the north Minnesota woods, as well as daily work commuting or driving for field engineering.
Right now, coming off of a smaller tuned Subaru FXT- I'm leaning towards a later 3rd gen x5 5.0i as my next 'toy', the 3.5i is faster than I expected, and smoother.
Don't really need the speed, but for something of this size and tow capacity (does this have the same as the all gas units?), a generation higher, Hybrid?
This is pretty much my ultimate vehicle.
Looked at a GLE43.. this 2014 x5 3.5i with an RS Race Chip- nearly equal the acceleration performance- yet have the advantages of the x5 over the GLE, and at less than half the cost of new.
I was kind of forced into replacing a car before I was ready- so this X5 is my toe in the water. Nice water.
