I don’t do SUVs (trucks), but I’ve driven the 2018 X5 40e and it’s a good SUV. I do believe BMW produces the best SUVs. Excepting Porsche, but they don’t really have the same utility and are really in a different category.

However, my recommendation would be to try a 2018 G30 540i. I think V8s are overrated and I’m definitely an inline six snob. The B58 makes plenty of power and it really is all the power you need. Plus, the B58 is very reliable and BMW’s V8 just always seems to have little niggling issues their sixes don’t. I will grant you it will be easier to find an M550i than an equivalently sport equipped 540i.

If you want to post links to vehicles you’re considering we can take a look and let you know if we see any red flags.
