Reader’s Question:
My wife told me about the BMW X5. Frankly, I think she’s head-over-heels in love with the car. As for me, I’d love to go look beyond the BMW emblem. What will make it worth my while to drive this car in Texas?

The reason why I love this SUV, Mark, is because it gives the feel of a car and yet feel the power of an SUV. That, for me, counts the most on the road. Now, BMW married these factors into their SUV, the X5. We can always look forward to an interesting ride whenever we get in one of these. Shall we go beyond the emblem?
I remember one of my friends when he first drove his X5 back in 2007. All he could say was how excellent that car responded to what he did to it. After speeding off, pedal to the metal, acceleration was great, and he was also well-impressed by how it handled on varying road conditions. I dug deeper by asking my friend and found out his car was an X5 4.8i. This model had a 350 horsepower 4.8 liter V8, which translated to the excellent power he kept bragging about. An intelligent All-Wheel Drive system is also present in the X5. This feature enables the car to handle changing road conditions. Another thing I appreciated about the 2007 X5 is that it has an option to seat from 5 to 7 people, and this reminds you that the thing is still an SUV. These make it worth my while to drive this car around Texas.
