Well, they are called SAVs for a reason. I would rather have more sportiness and less utility out of my SUV. I don't need to offroad. Holding cargo and driving like a car would be good enough for me. The X5 is great for most of the SUV buyers. MOST of the people with SUVs will never tow or offroad.

Indeed, I would love to own a X5. I'm sure it can tow, but I wouldn't expect it to tow enough for most of the people but I don't as well as some other trucks.

6,000 lbs towing capacity. A nice Ski Nautique weighs in under 3k

If I were allowed to take the roller coaster track it would be the "ultimate roll over event".

I just realized that there are no federal roll-over warning decals inside of BMW X3's & X5's. The label states "WARNING: Higher Rollover Risk". I noticed that decal affixed to the sun visors of my Rav4 and other makes and models of suv's including the Gx470 that was at the event..
