If you want to go off-road, it's the Rover... otherwise it's the X5. :cool01:

Id go with the Range Rover but the horror haunts me. Have they improved?

If not, X5 it is... What about the Q7?

Land Rovers are known as problematic cars.

While you can quibble about the durability of Korean cars versus Japanese cars, what separates Hyundai from Toyota is a difference of maybe four or five problems per hundred vehicles... in other words, if you have a three in a hundred chance of getting a Toyota Lemon, you'll have a five in a hundred chance of getting a Hyundai Lemon (those aren't accurate figures, but you get the idea).

But with Land Rovers, that problem rate is exponentially higher... to the point that, statistically speaking, anybody who buys a Land Rover has a fifty:fifty chance of getting a lemon. (No, that's not official, but sometimes, it feels that way... )

The Land Rover is a good off-roader, but the BMW X5 is a smashingly good on-road car.

BTW... the BMW X5 4.8i is awesome... the rumble of its V8 engine is just addicting.

Even the official modifiers of Range Rover, Overfinch, have found its suspension tuning and electronics to be a bit of a problem overtime because rover seems to be fond of prototype modules for these systems.

But the X5 dang that thing is a dream. For me at least.

What really blew my mind before was the active steering feature that constantly adjusts according to your speed. Sort of like having a second driver that assists you all the way!
