First you need to consider. This is an ultimate
NUV (No Utility Vehicle). It does not go to
Home Depot. People and cargo do not mix well in
this vehicle, like oil and water. But it is a
terrific car to drive. I still enjoy every moment
after one month. I do not have the SP and the
ride seems smoother. The sports package have a
harder suspension.



OK, I am inching closer to buying the 3.0i, unless the wife stages a major revolt.

Today's question is "Sports package or no?" I have only driven the X5 with the sports package. One review I read said that the ride was too harsh, but that wasn't my experience. I like the sports steering wheel and some of the cosmetic touches, but overall it feels like a $2500 rip-off unless the handling is really THAT much better.
