This might be a crazy question but here goes.

I purchased a 730d G11 in March. I needed a new car and with a new baby I wanted a big car but also wanted as much luxury as I could fit into the car. So I went for the 7 and I love it, it's so comfortable and plush and ticks most boxes.

However I really wanted an X this time round but knew the new x5 was around the corner, just not soon enough for my needs.

So I'm seriously contemplating trading the 7 for the x5. Excluding any cost issues, does anyone know what I'd be missing out on comfort wise with moving? I'd spec the comfort pack and leather dash and merino leather etc so as many things as I can to replicate the feel of the 7. But can anyone comment on how different (less luxurious smooth?) it would be, if at all?

I'm used to the soft wafts ride I get with the 7 with the ability to firm it up with VDC if I want, which works amazingly well, and the large soft seats you get in the 7. I don't want sporty seats at all. I want to be able to feel like that in the x5. Is that possible?

I love the dash in the 7 where you get premium metal buttons over the 5 and below, but wonder how the x5 dash compares to that? I do prefer the new live cockpit etc but want that premium feel. I would ideally holdout for the x7 to definitely get all that, but overall the x7 will probably be TOO big.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks
