Sexxy ass curb appeal , handling , braking , clean updated plush interiors , somewhat exclusive hardly see em on the road..

Now i'll be the 1st to admit it no X5m but when comparing the price its giving you a hell of alot for the $$$

sure i'd loove to have an x5m in garage next to my m5 but those 2 monthly payments are absurd , with this combo i get best of both worlds 1000+ hp garage amazing v8 beastly daily and my m5 for fun and super speed.

the way the pricing is w the 14-15's rt now i'd seriously consider one to hold ya over for the new m5 , it won't break the bank and chances are when the new m5 comes out you'll be able to keep both

my 0.02 cents
Can you help me with the SRT reference, you talking truck, car, suv? I'm out of my comfort zone here.

Not bad considering the gl63 is 550 and 560 and a GL 450 is $40k less.
Are you saying that eh GLE is bigger than the X5M? Interior or exterior or both?
The specs show BMW is 1.7' longer, has about 1" more front headroom, similar front legroom and Benz has about an inch more rear leg room.

I am confident he is talking about the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT.

Agree - I think this person mistyped. GLE is similar to X5. GL is another story.

Sorry, GLS 450. Got my MB nomenclature mixed up. Will correct my original post. I have the GL450 as stated. The GLS is the successor or LCI version in BMW terms. I need the size. Since there isn't an X7 yet, go GLS if you want the size. My lil ole GL 450 stock is 0-60 in 5.8.

As for the GC SRT, its ok but not blazing. We had a GC Overland Summit Hemi before the GL and it was more comfortable and better handling but the GL450 faster. GC hemi was 0-60 in 7.1. If you got the hellcat version, then thats a different story, and pricepoint. That should be the fastest accelerating of the group. Interior comfort wise its just as good as the MB or BMW.

That is a huge boost for the Bimmer.
Most likely where I will end up, but like considering all options so I'm not going in blindly.
Thanks for this.

It's funny because it is ridiculous. The X5M is a truck, weighs 1000pds more and has a higher center of gravity.

Too much coffee today?
