I LOVE my 540 and I'd definitely be biased to an X5 for that reason, but that GLE is really eye catching in and out.
And I love the green. Fantastic.

Can't go wrong with either X5 or GLE, both great SUV's. We looked at the Bimmer before going with the GLE and also found a lot of positives for it. Definitely the sportier of the two (not surprisingly) and they've recently added similar mild-hybrid technology that wasn't there when we looked before. In the end, wife wanted bigger back seats (X5 and GLC have same rear legroom) and she didn't care for the design as she isn't a fan of BMW's new grills and overall design language after the more traditional F-Generation vehicles. That being said, a look at the iX or new M3/4 might make her think the X5 has small grills
