Someone that wants the cargo capacity of a 5-series station wagon with the easy access, improved traffic visibility and 4-wheel drive of an SUV. I'm considering swapping my 325i for a used X5 3.0i. It makes more sense for my winter beater to have 4-wheel drive, and there are a couple of times a year when I'd like more cargo capability (like when I bought a new dining table). Personally, I'm glad companies are figuring out that 4-wheel drive doesn't
have to equal crappy driving dynamics - I spent some of my teen years driving Ford 4x4s, and I have no intention of repeating the experience.
