2011 BMW X5 SUV xDrive35i Premium 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
Better than expected
 We have always been Volvo owners.  My wife wanted a SUV we tested Volvo, Mercedes and BMW.  The BMW handled much better than the Mercedes.  I thought the ride would be harsh but it is not.  We took delivery at the BMW Performance Center in South Carolina.  Excellent program and an excellent vehicle.  I have never owned BMW but now I am considering purchasing another one for myself next year. We are averaging 22 mpg.  Handles like my old Volvo S80 V8.
