The thing is
Yeru was driving a loaner which probably was a basic X5 with standard suspension. If he had an opportunity to drive a X5M or a X5 with Dynamic Handling Pkg and or Adaptive M suspension then I'm willing to bet his short review of the X5 would be different. I'm pretty sure lot's of M3/M4 and in general 3 series guys get a basic X5 loaner and think it is a huge boat
