I live in Chicago where the roads are total sh*t most of the year and I've never felt the x5m ride quality was a problem. Any long trips my wife and I go on are almost always in the x5m. We have a baby on the way in a few months and I have zero concerns about our little guy riding in the car. My wife and I were as little worried about that before we bought the car but after a test drive all concerns were eased.

Pull the trigger on the x5m! If you are a car enthusiast and can afford to pay the exorbitant price for something that quite possibly shouldn't exist, there may be no better way to spend your money than on this ultimate family mover.

hey i have the same car combo x5m and m3. the x5m handles suprisngly well for a truck and had no problem keeping up during a recent m3 drive. It's also has excellent ride quality compared.
