Check out the thread I had when I went from the F10 535i to the X5. I hate the feel of the F10, it's so distant from what a BMW is supposed to be and I dumped it and went "old school", with the E70....

Is it just me or does it annoy the crap out of you guys as well when people say 3.5i or 3.5d? The engine is a 3.0L inline 6 ... PERIOD. And the models are 35i or 35d.

Anyway, now that I got that...

I couldn't be happier about the X5. It's by far the best BMW and the best car I've ever owned, period. It's amazing ... the power delivery is much better than the F10, it honestly feels just as quick...

Adaptive Drive is amazing. I am extremely pleased with paying through the roof for this option, but it's worth it and you feel that comfort everyday. Not to mention the amazing flat cornering.
