I came out of an M3 and into my X5. You are kidding yourself if you honestly think your X5 can keep up with an M3 on ANY road.

Ive been driving BMWs for 30 years. My current X is a disappointment with a beautiful interior (sport black headliner, nappa full leather, comfort seats, all the toys). The abrupt throttle, jerky tranny that is constantly trying to get to 8th gear, and ponderous handling are just sub par.
