Don't know much about them but I really like the X5. Lovely looking motor, as Davy says, this SE does look good. Great spec too. I'm intrigued by the 'M Sport Suspension Deletion" option on an SE car - is this Dynamic Pack connected??
I'd love the swap the QQ for one but just doesn't make sense as the QQ easily hits 40+mpg and I've got free servicing/warranty for the next 2 years. Also, we'd miss the 7 seats, so narrows my choices as not so many have this option ticked (yes, I have been casually looking
).
Your thought process seems to make sense though if you can chop the 6er in.
