2007 BMW X5 4.8i Road Test by Edmunds' Inside Line

We're very lucky that the Germans are almost clueless about the sport-utility vehicle, otherwise we'd never have something as great to drive as the 2007 BMW X5 4.8i.

@HPISAVAGE11 the bmw is NOT faster 0-60, they're actually dead even, and quarter mile the mustang has a faster ET and a faster trap speed. the mustang has better low end and midrange torque, so if you drove both cars back to back you would see where that extra liter of displacement is going. Also the mustang matches (if not SLIGHTLY exceeds) the M3's skidpad and figure 8 stats. as far as overall quality is concerned you get what you pay for. I cant afford an M3, thats why i own a mustang

[HPISAVAGE11]

@chefalan23 i give more credit to bmw because they are the ones who set the bar for most car makers to follow. the m3 has a perfect balance of handling and power and only needs a 4.0L v8 to make about the same hp as the 5.0 that says a lot about bmw right there. it even hits 0-60 faster and its not even designed to go fast in a straight line like the m3. im pretty sure if you were to test drive both cars and had a choice to choose between both you would pick the m3

[chefalan23]

@HPISAVAGE11 I have to disagree with you on that. The 5.0 is still in its first year of production. It hangs with the m3 while having a solid rear axle, so something to be said for that. Just wait a year or so till the 5.0 has direct injection and a revised suspension. Give credit where credit's due instead of bashing a car that costs 15 grand less and still manages to compete.

[HPISAVAGE11]

@chefalan23 no you mean to say the new 5.0 vs the m3. m3 set the bar and then it took ford almost 4 years to upgrade the mustang so that it can get CLOSE, not on m3s level. By now bmw has probably already created a new m3 that can destroy the 5.0 and then it will take ford another 4 years to upgrade their 5.0 to come near the m3s performance. and the cycle will start again and guess what bmw will always be on top. you get what you pay for

@HPISAVAGE11 i dont hate bmw's at all. thats why i was watching the video in the first place. as a matter of fact if i ever bought a german suv i would get an x5. my original post i was stating that my hemi grand cherokee was faster. and my 2011 5.0 a piece of shit? hardly bro. take a look at the comparison test with the 5.0 and the new M3.
