I will take my BMW from coast to coast any time. On other hand I need to prepare myself mentally to do road trip with Sienna, and physical time off after road trip. Mind, my BMW is actually track vehicle too.
The reason why that E60 is like that is steering response and keeping direction on the road. Probably best seats in business if comfort package ones, responsive brakes etc.
I did 5,200 miles trip with X5 35d. And this is big thing: ability to keep direction without much input. My small kid at that time would do something in the back that would require me to turn, car stays as it is and if something makes it change direction, I can feel immediately on my hand.
In my minivan as soon as I have to pay attention to the kids, car is off. And worse, there is absolutely no feedback what wheels are doing. It is tiring constantly correcting direction. That is among many other shortcomings from short seats, weird seating position, poor sound insulation etc. On sound insulation it is not even db level as much as just unpleasant noise.
