Now that I have more than 5,000 km on the watch of my new XC90 D5, in the meantime I was able to drive the V8 with enthusiasm, I had the opportunity today to shy away the good old BMW X5 with the 3.0d machine over 100 km country road. First it is clear with again what a WANDERDÜNE is – the BMW on the other hand a miracle of agility, driving stability, driving performance and driving fun. Although I find the XC90 significantly more beautiful, you must not compare the two vehicles with regard to FAHREN, because then would not be a single XC90 on the roads. I think the X5 3.0d can be compared to the V8 – at least subjectively: the engine is not louder, the agility comparable, the chassis is much safer and more stable. Only the new 6-speed automatic with the XC90 is, in my opinion, more spontaneous and simply better.
