What I like in the 2021 Escalade:

- Air suspension with magnetic ride control
- Interior

What I sense will be the reasons why BMW X5M (or X4MC) will wind up in my garage:
- GM dealer service experience
- First year reliability is likely to be subpar
- GM's aging 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
Well the only reason I would think most people buy the Escalade over BMW or any German brand is the third row and overall space. While it technically competes with the X7 and GLS, realistically its one size class above those and even more so in LWB form.
