People that have taken delivery for about a month or two, what are your thoughts? Has the new X5 surpassed your expectations? Any gripes or complaints? Any advices to those that have yet to take delivery? Can you let us know your thoughts while the rest of us wait and drool?

I've absolutely loved it. And I'm constantly surprised at how well built and solid it is.

How does your X5 handle compared to a sedan?

It's a tough comparison. Sedan has coilovers... The x5 in sport+ mode and the 21" wheels starts to get there but can't ever really get there.

It does an incredible job for an SUV though. I find myself wanting to drive it more than the other...
