To me X5M is too heavy and that's why even with a more powerful engine and more torque beside the AWD is still slower than M5 in term of 0-60 or even 1/4 mile + trap speed

I was surprised how much look I got in the car. In FL nonetheless and I used it when we vacay at the beaches. Great comfort car and yet will pull like hell in sports mode.
Everything is different on the M5, even interior if you get the extended and BO. I had a nice run with the m5. I personally don't find the techs in M5 dated. 16 vs 16 would have the same navi/hud/controls. The seats on the X5M are really nice though but the M5 has butt mover option lol. It's not a massage like the s-class but it shifts your butt cheeks around.
Test them both, you can't go wrong with either.

One very important difference that I left out, B&O in the M5 sounds so much better than the B&O in the X5M. Both systems have the same power, but it's filling a tighter and smaller cabin of the M5. This makes it so much better. If you're an audiophile, go with the M5 over the X5M. I still have both, so I can tell you it's night and day in audio difference.
