Simple....

Just do this

http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=mb&word2=bmw

If we're going to use the acronyms, lets be fair and call an MB an MB, and a BMW a BMW.

Bye, Bye, Bimmer....

In the May "Car and Driver", they compared SUVs.

They actually rated the X5 higher than the ML.

I did notice that the review on the X5 stated that the base model was "under powered". STOP!! I wouldn't buy a very expensive SUV that lacked HP no matter what other goodies it offered.

Car and Driver is, and will always be, a BMW slanted magazine. :fork_off:

Nien!


They said that the E63 was better than the M5!!!!! Woot. They said it actually handled well for a "sport sedan".

Thats because the X5 is a better SUV. I have spent a lot of time in the last generation X5, Acura, and ML. The X5 is pretty quick with the V8, decent with the I6, but its a better SUV. Much stiffer then the Acura in particular.

They didn't test the X5 with the 4.4, that one moves!
