Thanks a lot for this little review mate! I see you liked the car which is a good thing. This means that it's actually very good. I think it will take some time until it comes here though...

No, I've never been there. My friend is from Atlanta and he was telling me that him and a bunch of friends used to go to Miami for vacations...he said lots of fine looking women down there!

Many plastic parts of the car seemed cheap yet the interior is better than the Q7's? Hard to believe cause Q7's interior is top notch.

Anyway thanks for the review.

Nice review, I do enjoyed it thanks.

I don't know if anyone notice that the steering wheel is non-sport steering wheel meanwhile there is that "Sport" button by the shifter. I thought that "Sport" button only available when you order the sport package and if that's the case, shouldn't the steering wheel be different?

I'm little confused here...

By the way, the fanny of the new X5 (E70) definitely look a lot better than the previous X5 (E53).

I was less impressed with the Q7 interior which I also found to have numerous bits of cheap plastic. I found the x5 interior "warmer" than the Q7's.

I drove both 3.0 and 4.8i and like the 4.8i better. Handling is better than E53 4.4i. Do not like the plastic bumpers. You can hide them on black color but otherwise need the aero kit. Sports package and Tech package are a must.

The BMW X5 is easily best in class in my own opinion..... I mean who really buys one of these to venture of road... There designed for luxury and presence.... SOmething that the E70 delivers... The Q7 is a nice car..... But i do perosnally believe it is bettered by the E70!!!! The X5 has a beautiful interior.... I just hope all new BMW's get this sort of interior development and attention to detail re. The new 7 series which is coming in the next 2 yrs.... As the flagship it should offer an unparal interior compared to the other BMW... and it needs to have a brillaint interior if it wishes to compete with the S-Class

This was not the 4.8, this was the 3 litre and there was no sticker on it, so I don't know what the options if any there were on the car.

Yea sorry about the pics, it was with my cameraphone.

wow in my review i had different views......i thought the Q7 was best in interior, then X5, then Ml

I believe that the Q7's interior has superior fit an finish to the X5's, but when it comes to design the X5 has it stomped. Even out of all the newer BMW's the E70's interior feels by far the most well designed. Everything is where it should be and none of the shapes or interior trim is offensive as has been said for many other a late BMW.

Does anyone notice the steering wheel on the X5, that thing is so ugly.
