If I had to pick on of the three, I would go for the Q7. It combines sportiness, looks and performance in a very delicate way. A few months ago, at a carshow in Athens, I had the chance to sit in Q7. I must say, the feeling of the interior is really awesome! When sitting in the Q7, you think you sit in a sports car and that because of the low roof. At the same time, since you are sitting high, it also gives you the feeling that a SUV has. It's brilliant!

I would also choose the Q7 cause it's a superb car and it has more presence on the road than the other two. X5 looks too much lke the previous model which has it's possitives and negatives. Possitive is that it looks more beautiful than the other BMW models (like X3) but negative is that compared to the others it looks a bit conservative. Still a great SUV that i like very much and would be my second choice after the Q7 in this segment.

Can someone check if the X5 had the Sportpack? The X5 is a totally different beast with it because that includes FlexRay. Heard it actually makes the car even more comfortable

I'm also interested in what features did X5 & Q7 have. Did the have Active drive & Active Steering (X5), and AirSuspension (Q7)?

Yeah but if you look at it that way, I could say that the Q7 looks like a raised A6 Allroad....not much inspiration for the Q7. Looks like a big Audi estate

I have to look into this Flexray thingy for the Sportspackage....If the Sportspackage is the only one with Flexray, I might have no choice but to go with that one for my dad.

I would go for an SUV/SAV that feels the most like a car. On top of that it has to be luxurious (all of them accomplish this) and somewhat comfortable. The Porsche should therefore be my favorite, but it is really pricey and it just doesn't look good to me. I'll take the X5 in Space Gray.

PS. No test ever ever mentions this, but I bet you if you switched out the Run-Flat tires, the X5 would be a hell of a lot more comfortable. Those tires for 19" and 20" rims must be insane. I've personally worked with 18" RFT's and I thought those were crazy.
You hit the nail on the head.
Nobody that I know will take their premium SUV/SAV off road, that was and is what Jeeps and pickup trucks are for.
The SUV/SAV are most driven by women, and trust me, they don't go off road. The Porsche might be the exception here where I have seen more male than female drivers.
In the old days, yes SUV/Jeeps were for off road- remember the old Land Rovers, those had very good offroad capabilities whereas the Range Rovers were more on the sport side.
I think modern SUV/SAV has strayed heavily away from to the Offroad part of the equation.
Towing abilities are still called upon every now and then, however the Offroad thing is very very rare.
Perhaps BMW does have a point here; customers will rarely make use of the offroad abilities so why invest so much resources on it.
