Adult riders in my cars has never been a consideration. Don't like it? Rent a car or call a cab, I'm not your Uber driver.

Only adult that matters is my wife. Kids don't get a vote either.

All things said though. Never had any complaints from a friend or colleague hitching a ride in the X5. Back seat is plenty big for your average sized adult.

After my Durango getting totaled I don’t see myself buying a car that isn’t a BMW due to safety concerns.

If your wife has an X3, you're going to be disappointed by X5. It's just that little bit bigger, but much nicer. For me, I went in looking at X3M, and couldn't fit the kids behind me at all.

Fair point, my plan was to get an X7 and upgrade my wife to the X5. But she fits both car seats well in her X3 and doesn’t use it for greocery runs or road trips. We took my Durango for that. If I can fit a stroller and suitcase back there for road trips I’ll most likely end up getting the X5.

2 kids here. We love love love our x7. It never seems too big or feels too big. The x5s always look tiny to me.
