Ron, if I didn't live 25 miles south of the Canadian border, 10 miles from work on back roads, and if this wasn't going to be the daily driver, the 540i would have worked JUST fine. I really felt that I needed FWD or AWD. The closest comparison I could make after driving practically everything within 50 miles was the A6 Avant, but the incredible handling of the X5 (without their sport option, with the 17" wheels) swung my decision ... my son's double bass just fits in the X5, so the small cargo area isn't a problem. Frankly, my big worry is the build quality reported for X5's on their board ... but if I believed half of what I read on THIS board, I'd never have bought a 9-5 either! That's all the news from the maximum end of the foot bell curve!
