Well you could possibly be correct, I just see the entire industry turning away from your conventional SUV of yester-year which arguably the X5 doesn't fit into to begin with. I certainly hope that the majority of X5 owners use their cars like they are intended, but I know of one personally that doesn't at all with the exception of carting the lab around in a cage in the back. I would say she is probably a good chunk of X5 buyers. When you are dealing with upper niche luxury vehicles like this you have to wonder why owners are really buying the car in the first place, utility or prestige? I would say it's prestige first and utility last. But what do I know? I will probably never be in the market for one of these cars so my perspective could be warped. I can just see BMW introducing a bench seat in back and an inline 6 and diesel variants and having a really big success on a grand scale. But that may not be the intention of BMWUSA at all. But what do we know?
