X5 M

**DazBlackCSL** · 16-05-2011, 11:18 AM

Was invited by my dealer to a BMW event on sunday, nail treatment for the missis and the choice of a few vehicles to test drive, only thing worth getting into outside of a normal E92 M3, had one for 7 months and driven a few, was the new X5 M, 4.8 twin turbo

FOOK ME does that barge move along and handle for what it is

Very Very impressed with it for a 4x4, proper autobhan weapon that thing

Sounds good mate, any pics?

Sorry if I've been under a rock but you've got a E92?

No Pics im afraid just jumped in spanked it and got out, had a beer and drove home !! lol

When the CSL was in for some work last year or year before, my loaner was a E92, which I was in for 6/7 months as parts took ages to arrive from germany so no what they are like, wanted to see how this thing was

Looked like this . quote from some motoring press:

'The engine is particularly notable as this is the same unit that will be fitted to the next M5 — due to go on sale in 2011. It’s a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 so you get lots of power, tons of torque and fewer carbon dioxides than you did from the back of the V10.'

Engine 4395cc, V8

Power 547bhp @ 6000rpm

Torque 501 lb ft @ 1500rpm

Transmission Six-speed auto

Acceleration 0-62mph: 4.7sec

You certainly need one of these more than you do a RRS...

Agree with you, BUT and it's a big but, Mark will get me in a RRS for 20 or below, decent mileage, spec.. X5M is 70 odd, the one I drove on sunday was loaded and 100k

..

2/3 years down the track when they have depreciated like a lead ballon , although im going to see a second hand one they have just got in this week and crunch some numbers

Just found this tho

Anyway if I was spending that sort of dough it would be on a GT3
