Recently got (2months) 35i Msport for wife to replace previous E53 X5. Both her and I echo most of comments here. Brakes are spongy. Not confidence inspiring. Already gotten some close calls of rear ending someone. My M3 is of course a different league. But her previous X5 had impressive brakes -distance and feel as well. I do hope it's just the tires. Can't wait to swap those out. But brakes are admittedly scary that I'm considering taking it to dealer.
I do agree with comments that somehow brakes are ok, it just takes more travel. I do have a feeling a lot of it is due to crappy oem tires. Will be watching this tread closely.
Also curious if switching to non RFTs is the solution or if there is a better RFT tire out there - in case I want to stay with RFT for wife.
And just to add, even our Honda Odyssey minivan brakes better (feel and distance) than X3. Lol.
