I do agree that they need to increase the screen size on the ML to keep up. That is one of the few complaints I have is that it is too small and sometimes difficult to see when driving...

Yep, that's because you get around a corner so fast with an X5, there isn't any time to use them anyway.

I really don't understand why everyone gets so hung up on the "sportiness" of a 5100 lb SUV. To me, the most important qualities of these vehicles is to be able to haul me, my family, and a lot of stuff a long way in luxury and comfort.
I am a car nut, and definitely have a penchant for sports cars and sports sedans. An X5 (or any other SUV for that matter) would certainly not be my vehicle of choice for carving up twisty roads.
Are you driving your X5 so fast that you aren't using your turn signals? I probably wouldn't want to be anywhere on a public road near you.
