Definitely x5. More precisely - X5 M50 with performance summer tires. Cars of this weight need a v8.
Both cars are big and tall. But X5 with M suspension handles the weight much better and actually can corner. Limited slip is standard on M50.
X7 - has air suspension - so it floats. It is also much bigger and cumbersome. Unless you need 3 rows - skip it.
Both cars can be ordered with Full leather making the equipment and features identical. So x7 is not more luxurious - just someone did not know how to order right packages on x5.
After a year of owning an X5 - it is superb car. 4 sec to 60 and extremely well composed on the road.
