I have a minivan and was hoping this new X5 would look more like a sporty vehicle I could occasionally drive my kids in rather than be a minivan substitute.
From a driving dynamics standpoint, comparing a minivan to an X5 is like comparing a 335xi to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. Vastly different expriences in both cases.
