Well, I suppose Sport in comparison to what? The full size? Definitely sporty.

My X5 had the M suspension and DHP. My assumption is that it was a big reason it handled so very well.

The RRS unquestionably drives better. The tranny is way smoother and it's gently always seeking to pull. I've not even come close to opening her up yet. But I had a 16, so I'm familiar.

The exhaust is very throaty and robust. The bright red brakes were not my choice. I checked off black in my build. They did it red anyway. But sporty they are. And very effective.

On turns it's like a boat. So very much less sporty than my trade in. But it's s nice balance of a lot of things.

I'll always have fond memories of my X5. Gorgeous. Sporty. All around awesome.
