Don't try it...

Marcus, do you really think that this new X5 is a step back, as it seems to those that tested it? Do you really believe this quote:

Quote:
On the asphalt, I found the X5 tries too hard to put the "Sport" into SUV: the ride is very harsh, sending every road bump into the cabin.
You don't need to be a BMW stalwart like i am to say i'm not buying it. I don't and i won't believe that this is true. And very soon i'll try it myself and if it's true, everything what they've said, i'll appologize and withdraw everything i've said. Above quote wasn't the case even with old X5, so CanDriver won't fool me with this crap.
