and no, you can't have the agility of a 3-series sedan, with the X5 cargo capacity, with the X3 ride height, for $40K... it's a matter of balance !
+1 Not a fair comparison - a SAV vs a 3 series sedan or coupe.

I had a 7 Series once, and it didn't handle or ride like a 3 Series either.

Nor do I expect my 35i MSport to ride or handle like my M3 Sedan I sold last fall. These are all different vehicles and they will feel different, one to another.
