They also ride like shit. I drove a newer X5M and GLEAMG and they both (especially the BMW) rode like garbage compared to the more pedestrian spec models. If you want a fun, fast SUV I recommend buying a Cayenne which is way better than both of those though it is a little smaller. The BMW and the AMG Benz models are totally pointless. Yes, they're bonkers fast but you don't need/want an SUV for that. You want something to get you and your family around comfortably and they both suck at it. Want fast and fun? Buy the car versions lol.
Probably why i liked the M50i so much. it is a perfect balance between performance and comfort...
SUVs dont need to feel like M3 CSL. Same as Tesla Model Y Performance. I went to lunch with my co worker the other day and i was like Does this thing have any suspension travel?
X5/X7 M50i is where it is at....
Correction, they call it M60i now... whatever that means...

So you know shit, right? Ken Block designed these to pull the heat away from the brakes...
bro...wheels were perfectly clean...ceramic coated...
I washed JUST the car so the wheels had residual water on them...I drive to work...just 20 miles
with almost not braking...
the little windows to the front wheels were BLACK already...
MOTHERFUCKER...this is gonna suck!
Also kinda cool that the design works...

It is. Dropping down to 18s made a world of difference.

A little low for my taste, but a Mazda....

Would've sold abysmally here, but I'd have likely bought one instead of the Merc, had it been an option.

I actually really liked the 6 GT-R [Grand Touring Reserve] but stock wasn't there when we were ready to buy, IIRC.

Not bad, still don't care for all of these overexaggerated [IMO] DRL strips.

Pre-facelift W212 is my second least favorite E-Estate after the W210, sorry @rockstar143
W123, W126, W211 & facelift W212 take the cake for me. Not necessarily in that order.

So the only thing I note from a V50 pic is the gas filler door location and the rear glass shape. Just my thoughts though. The angle of the white one does make it look a bit stocky.

Ouray... That drive down 550 from Montrose, Ouray, then into Durango makes me think of Switzerland. A little bit.

^ We drove from Ouray to Silverton on 550 ("Million Dollar Highway"), simply beautiful road with so much nature everywhere.
