 I have a Carrera and I bought my X5 as a second car for more room for putting stuff in.   I absolutely love this car. The ride is a little firm and it is super fun to drive. The car feels heavy but the engine is more than powerful enough. The interior of the car is very roomy and the legroom for the front and rear passengers is huge.  The back has a very comfortable and wide bench seat. The car is a little stockier than most SUVs so the rear cargo is a little small but it has been more than enough for me.  I have had no mechanical issues since I purchased it 10 months ago. I highly recommend this vehicle.
