Drive one/either of the X's.
They are amazing. Until you actually sit in the driver's seat and run them
in almost exactly the same manner as their car counterparts, it's not possible to know and understand what they're capable of. Beasts, both of them.

Don't know about the drivers' capabilities obviously, but I do know that the X's have much better torque at any range below 4,500 rpm and speed below ~35 mph. That alone will make up for the extra weight being dragged through corners.
The electronics - especially on the '6 - are a huge component. Like them or not they refuse to let the vehicle perform anything other than very close to the E60 and not too far away from the E9X M3.
I hate SUV's. And over a year later I can't get the X6M out of my mind.
