I had an E70 X5M and while they are quick (for SUV's), they all still handle like crap compared to cars. I remember when I planned to do a 100+ mile drive through the country backroads with friends in my M3. My M3 got a CEL right before that event so I had a 328i loaner and my X5M to pick for the drive. As a test before that event I took both cars out on the back roads to see which one I think would be more fun. I was surprised to find out that the 328i loaner was so much more fun to drive in the back roads compared to my X5M. Ended up taking the 328i for the drive and had a blast that day. No matter what the numbers say, SUV's are nowhere near as fun to drive as sports cars. They might have the mechanical grip and power to be fast, but it's just not as fun. Impressive, yes. Fun? Not nearly as much as a proper car.
