The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
8.4 Read Our Full Review	8.4 Read Our Full Review
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2010 BMW X5 offers impressive handling and features, but lacks the styling and interior that makes competitors pop, while the X5 M offers nearly sports car levels of performance with all the utility of a standard X5.	The novelty of the four-door coupe/SUV is wearing off, but the X6's combination of utility and composed driving style still pleases.
TCC Likes
Well-weighted steering Responsive handling Plenty of power	Coupe profile-above the waistline Very comfortable seating Quick-shifting manu-matic gearbox
TCC Dislikes
iDrive system High price Styling a bit stale	Bulky, trucklike lower half Premium fuel required Can get pricey, especially the high-performance versions
