My sister has one with the 4.4 and it is kinda fast for only having 283hp. Handles great, but........buy a car it you want to go fast and handle good.

The best car I ever owned in snow for skiing was the BMW 325IX, so would'nt hesitate buying another or a new 328xi.

And the neighbors complain about boat noise....

At least that is only on weekends, not at 2am every night w/drunken strippers hanging out of it........

Disagree. My 4.4 handles about as well as my ZR-1 if not better. I know which one will stick better on wet roads!

I was refering to dry pavement track type driving like the video shows. I know the stock X5 doesnt pull anything close to a 1.0g's around a skid pad. (Sports) cars handle better in general.

Hans Stuck is definitely the Ringmeister...nobody gets around there like he does.
So they took their Le Mans V12 and stuffed it into a X5...cool.

Could not understand a word from the driver but that car sounded awesome!!!

way cool

Awesome.

Stuck would be fast on a ten-speed! His family has been winning races on that track for over sixty years.

The IMSA GTO/Trans-Am Audi with Stuck at the wheel is one of the all time best, but this video with the M3GTR is solid too.
