Here in Canada an X5 really is a mid-size car. Some of the pickup trucks here are ginormous. I was back in the UK in May and saw one just like mine and it looked big against the average UK vehicle.
Just what you're used to I guess.

That's a toyota thundra. If you want to see a oversized pick up truck than google either ford F350 or dodge ram 3500.

With me not being all that far from Alconbury, Lakenheath & Mildenhall I see quite a few of those around this part of England. Mostly, if not all, left hand drive. I always assumed the older ones were those sold on by returning USAF or similar personnel.

Cant see need in UK & tbh size would make it more hinderence on narrow roads & with small parking spaces etc. Finding spaces non damage parking of X5 can still be P.I.T.A at times.
