actually the main prob with suv is the high center of gravity, that they can turn over when changing directions at high speed, remember fifth gear's test using a range rover?
i couldn't drive a suv straight from my lowered e60, it would be dangerous.
Some people say the porsche cayenne is immune, but i wouldn't want to corner up tms very quicky in one, any guys with experience of driving suvs HARD up tms?
yep, if I were to get an suv, prosche would be my choice. also heard nissan is good in this dept.

dont forget its a BMW
if it don't make mice noise then its not a true BMW
Audi & MB are better made if you dont like the mice noise.
For me I like it, I get it all the time in my BM but non in my stepwgn
