In regards to other Nice SUV's I find the ML55 AMG to look much muscular than the current 63 it has those 300SL hood bulges that I like.

The ML55 just need quad tips,larger brakes and the E55 S/C M113 Evo engine with 500hp. Basically the same engine which is on the G55K.

I love the new X5. Drives great and is awesome for road trips. 80 mph and over 20 mpg. Nice.

I think the new X5 4.8 looks great.

I prefer the old one when it comes down to looks.

i love the new x5, reminds me subtly of a lambo gallardo (prob all the honeycomb)...but damn, they are just so pricey.

I think the old front is more aggressive. But we have the same problem. But after the new one 10 months on the market we like it a lot and was at a point were we was going to order one. But there is the 635d and we need a new cab, so we are going to take the X5 E53 and buy the 635d to the stable( yes it is a diesel cabrio, in the USA we would get a M6 cabrio for the same price)
