Right now I have two BMWs in the garage. A 2015 535 that is very nicely spec'ed out with all the sport options checked and an individual interior with the best seats in the business. The second car is a 2017 M3 competition pack.
This is my third M3. (2008, 2015) Once you own an M3 and get used to driving an M3 you are pretty much hooked. I don't look at it like a race car, and the 0 to 60 times really don't matter.... but the impeccable handling, butter smooth drivetrain and personal car proportions packaged up perfectly as a 4 door sports sedan are just sublime.
So my point? When the 535 comes off lease next year I'm definitely going to get into an X5. It needs to be optioned properly (as do all BMW's) with the DHP and probably the 5.0. The X5 and an M3 will compliment each other nicely.
A word to the wise. There is another SUV that I have not seen mentioned in this thread. Best not to drive it unless you have some deep pockets. It is the Range Rover Sport. It looks beautiful, has a gorgeous interior, and in supercharged V8 guise drives beautifully. It is awesome. The problem is the price tag. The one I drove had a sticker of 132K and the lease was $1435/mo.
