I've had a 3 series, Range Rover and an X5 and just put an order in for a new X5 50i.

The 3 series was fun, but I wanted more luxury.

The Range Rover was fantastic (I preferred the drive, the Supercharged torque and seating position to all other SUVs) but it broke down ALL THE TIME! (Do not buy a Range Rover for reliability lognut).

The X5 (4.8i) has been utterly sound and possibly the most reliable car I have every owned. I have no squeaks, rattles and it rarely visits the shop for anything other than brakes or oil changes - both covered under warranty. I agree that some of the interior may look plastic (on par with a 3 series), especially with the Nevada leather. If you upgrade to the soft touch Nappa leather seating and dash (as I am doing this time) you will have a very rich interior much like the 6 or 7 series.
