I was wondering if anyone on the board has bought one of the new X5 4.6is's and what they thought of it? I've been looking at them now for about 5 months and I really love the way the 4.6 looks and the way it performs. My question is, does anyone on the board own an X5, any X5, and have 3 kids that they place across the back seat? And if that's true, how is that on long trips? Right now, I own a GMC Yukon XL and it works great for towing our trailer and toting around our 3 kids. I'm probably going to keep the XL for towing and really long trips! But for around town, or semi-long drives from Northern Arizona to Phoenix, I'm really considering the X5. Especially for safety of my wife and kids, and for the overall love of another BMW product! Any suggestions would be welcome!

Thanks,
BIMMEUP
