    Default BMW X5 or MB ML350 4Matic? Which to Get?

    Looking to takeover a lease. I narrowed it down to a 2008 BMW X5 (the 3L or w/e base model engine is) or a 2009 MB ML350 4Matic. It will be in Boston so 4WD is important. Im leaning more towards the ML at this point but what do you guys say?

    I'd choose the ML350, although the X5 might be more dynamically rewarding.

    First choice is a RR Sport but I can't find any with a 10 month lease left.

    Good choice. Hopefully you are able to find one.

    X5 for sure, I think it's a better drive than the mb. The mb will be a softer more cushy ride

    X5. Drives better. Having owned 7 MBZ products of different vintages, I would still go with the X5. A drove a ML350 for a few weeks (rental car for repair work on wifes e320)

    I did not like the steering at all on the ML.

    Q7, hehe thinking outside the box.
    My friend's dad just got a 2010 ML350, i haven't driven it, but its a really comfy passenger car. I'd say drive both and see which is better for you.
