'03 E55
My 4 year old loves to ride in daddy's "race car" as he calls it. He is forever asking, "Daddy, can we go into space again" (his way of telling me to floor it).

I never do anything very crazy when my kids are in the car, but twice I've looked back when really getting on it from a stop and he's got a death grip on the car seat and a scared look on his face. 2 seconds later he's laughing hysterically and shouting DO IT AGAIN.

The X5 handles very well and has some zip. Not much different from a road car just a little higher up.

My wife and I normally commute together to work in our Audi, but on days when I choose to sleep-in, like today, she always picks the GL to drive. I think that says alot in favor of the GL, since she has to walk around the SL to get to the GL. When I ask why she picks the GL, she just says she really likes driving the GL.
