For those with kids, I'd take an x5. I test drove one and it was better than anything I've ever driven in that size. My QX80 will probably be replaced with a G Wagon or GLS; however, if BMW services and support was better I'd probably get the x7 because it's arguably better. But once you account for horrible service and software, the MB looks better.
That said, nothing drives like a sports car. From Mustangs to Ferrari, you can't beat a proper car. However, for my money, I'd replace my M850i with a true 911.
Not that anyone cares, but again partly because of lack of BMW support after drive off. Also, I've given up on trying to please everyone all the time. My next sports car will be a true 2 seater for 1 and not a 2+2 or 4 door. My wife and kids can follow me in their SUV, if they can keep up.
