Drove one and you’ll understand. Even Jeremy Clarkson choose the B5 sedan over the M5 some years ago in a shootout between the two.
Well, he's by his own admission a fat middle aged man, so why would anyone be surprised?

I just don't get the point. What's the benefit of it over an XB7 if.the X5M exists? It's not like the X5M is some.stripped down track car. XB7 makes sense because BMW is a bunch of silly noises when it comes to M.cars and what "is allowed" to be an M.


Just my opinion,I don't see the point.
