Cayenne vs X5?!

Why are you so defensive, you got one of these ugly new X5s? Try test driving a 2020 GLE.

The middle-aged guy who bought two 328i coupes 10 years ago and thinks he's a driving expert is not BMW's target demographic.

What are the enthusiasts like yourself driving now?

Yep other cars are not really in the class with the Porsche. I did not understand the difference till we started testing driving.

I'm not a BMW fan or an SUV fan AT ALL, but Car and Driver insrumented tests show the X5 M dominating the Cayenne S on every single metric (road holding, breaking, 0-60, etc.):

BMWs are lousy overall, and Cayenne’s have absurdly expensive brakes (wife has a Turbo S with ceramic brakes).

I wouldn’t get either of them.

I’d get either a Maserati Levant or the new Lambo CUV

X5M is at least $20-30k more than the Cayenne S

Uuuuhh. You can literally see in the info box at the bottom of their articles what the as-tested price was. It's true the X5 M is a bit more expensive but in this case it was $111k vs. $99k. 12k in that price range isn't a huge difference, especially when it's buying you better performance across the board.

You realize you linked a review of a 2019MY vs a 2017MY? If you go on cars.com and search within 40 miles of 20003 there's not a single X5 M right now under $123k. Cayenne S is $99-105k. As I said, X5M $20-$30k more.

Right and he is cheating by comparing a X5M to a Cayenne S. A fair comparison would be at least a Cayenne GTS or a Cayenne Turbo.
