BMW X5

[scottietse]

on my way home dropping of my girl and big fat X5 stuck to my rear

at first i thought it was the coppers...slowed down, then realised it wasnt

blasted it down but was quite supprised by its performance.still beat it but not far off .... bloody fast though

whats the performance of these monsters???

[Quigonjay]

varies quite a lot from about 8ish secs 0-60 for the 3.0 to just over 5secs for the 4.6

I seen one the other day weaving in and out of a traffic on a 3 lane motorway at speeds well over 100mph .

Complete to$$er!

Sounds about right mate. X5 drivers think they own the road... I see them everywhere driving like nobs

It's the 60-0 on those things that scares me. They all seem to think it's a lot better than mine.

Does anyone know why anyone wants one of those, when they could have a 535 or something instead?

i dont hate bmw's drivers but another one had a go at me today.....

this time it was a 5 series brand new....no badge except for a dual exhaust.....kept up with me all the way to crazy speeds (stupid i kno) but toward the end i slowed down ( being safe ) he did exactly the same then we planted it again goin around 40ish in third.he completely killed me.....

i blame the turbo lag.....

love my tubby

I've had this experience. One RIGHT on my ar$e through local village.

Was in third and thought that would be enough the leave him....I was wrong!! He was right up my ar$e until I had full boost!!! Only then did I start to pull away!

Smarmy g!t!

I believe the correct procedure according to the highway code is to slow down if someone is tailgating you so that you can ensure that 2second rule is stuck to.

I thought you were supposed to stop, drag them out the car and beat them to death with their own shoes?

Or is that just me?

[Troubled]

people have shoes in your area ?.. man you really ARE posh

Lovely cars the X5, and plenty of torque in 3.0d form, but not my cuppa, I prefer to be sat on the floor

Agrees, but the 4.8IS is the one to have. Sounds awesome!

[screech205]

I've chased a couple and they are pretty quick for what they are but in my opinion they and other such monstrosities are just completely pointless!

Very amusing watching school run muppets trying to reverse park one tho

[mart1975]

ive had to swerve out the way of one of those x5 driving dicks! after he cut me up into the side of the road.
its not just the x5 drivers though as im sure you have all noticed, it goes right accross the bmw range. t@ssers!!!
