With a 445 horsepower engine with 4.4-liter V-8 Premium), it's a powerful car. I have driven 10,000 miles with it and loved every minute of it. The exterior color of alpine white was the first feature that attracted me to it. I really love the navigation voice activation system in it, so cool. The only little issue is filling up the 22.4 gallons as I travel more than 800 miles weekly to work.

The X5 M Sport with X Drive is a fun family car. It feels solid when entering the car. It drives close to the ground, and corners well for an SUV. The seats are comfortable but aggressive. The interior feels like it is meant for the driver. The leather stays cool in the summer and heated seats are warm in the winter. Tinted windows give it an aggressive look. It's safe, but moves fast. There is torque to spare even in the 35i model. Plenty of room in the back for a weekend getaway. Enough seats for a family of four comfortably. Five can fit easily for shorter trips. The interior is kid proof - food and crayon wipe right off. Interior mood lighting is a nice touch. Doors slam shut with a resounding punch and open easily.
