Not sure about Miko, but for me, yes and no.
My wife's M2 is financed, and my CLS is on a lease, and the X3 is our son's. We have a grandchild on the way, and our son is taking his X3 to college in Florida this summer, so we need a practical vehicle because we actually use his X3 a lot for home-depot, the dog, etc., so I'm planning on swapping the CLS for an X3 or X5 lease. I love the Benz, and got it because my prior 5er lease was totaled, that and I found it to be a dud in the BMW lineup, so I went looking at the new E class, and ended up with the CLS. Only negative is that Merc leases are not as good as BMW's, and I don't like any of the new Merc SUVs, and they sadly don't offer the E53 wagon, and the E63S wagon as amazing as it is, will be very expensive. So I'm gonna enjoy the Benz for a while till its gone for a new Bimmer.

Like a broken record for most recent M models- great engine and transmission, very good but not great handling, and steering that is precise but with absolutely no road feel.

These Autogefuhl reviews are like 10 hours long. He starts by analyzing every line of the car, as if we were blind. EVERY LINE!
Then he tells us about natural animal leathers and whether this car killed the polar bears to have them. Then he just drives around aimlessly trying to find what to say. |

The ride quality was and still is my biggest concern about my upcoming ownership experience. I’m still buying this thing and I’m stoked, no doubt about it. I just love the look of the F95 inside and out far more than every other elite performance SAV in its class, so I think I’m willing to deal with the compromised ride comfort...at least for a few years. Maybe I’ll be singing a different tune after I take delivery, making this my first and last X5M, but my first it will most definitely still be. Let the fun begin! |

Meh.. not terribly impressed. I need the space but I think the X5M is still not competitive against the likes of a RS6 avant or M5 for the money.
And why are they still using window switches out of a 2 series? |

I have the new X3M and again the ride is much better than my 2007 Z4C on RFT or any of my previous 5 M cars, I think people confuse a stiff chassis with a harsh ride for me they are different, the cars are getting stiffer but the damping and tyres are better.

Yeah, I am buying mine on spot but I have the tendency to keep them. If I could lease (and write it off) I will do it, but otherwise doesn't make sense for me. So I buy them. Otherwise I will probably lease every three years. Mercedes does not have the 12 years anti-rust corrosion protection and they rust. And that's a big no no for me. And while I do respect their tech, design wise there are very few I like. The CLS and E keep a conservatory style outside, but only the CLS interior is appealing to me. The new X3 and the X5 are both nice. |
