Yeah, this is my first X5. So I can't help you there. But as far as the DHP goes, it's very nice....relatively speaking.

I'm coming from an Audi S5, so there might be a bit bias here. Take my opinion with that in mind. I believe the X5 performs as it looks. It's a bit top heavy, drives like a sedan, takes bump pretty well, and corners moderate body roll. But when you engage the Sport+ mode, things get better. Everything tightens up a bit and throttle response is quicker and each gear held longer. But mind you, it's no sports car. For its size and what it was built to do, it moves VERY well....a lot better than other SUVs in its class.
