...but don't forget that on snow whilst they pull away better , the big wide tyres are like snowboards and they slide just as easily sideways on corners or when braking as any other car, especially if they have summer tyres fitted! Take care next week...

Re: Hi All
Hi and welcome to the forum.
Congrats on your new X5 looks good with the black wheels aginat the white bodywork. And yes the X5's do drive well for a 4x4, and make it effortless. Is it 3.0d or 4.0d?
I like the other two cars esp the M4 very rapid car indeed)

Thanks Graeme...yes its the 3.0 M sport...I did have the 4.0 as a loan car a few weeks before and couldn't believe the oomph it had for a big car...they were few and far between though when I was looking as one of my must haves was HUD...anyway more than happy with this , there certainly no slowcoach
Might get shot for saying this but also prefer the shape of this model than the new ones ::)
Love the M4 had a black one from launch in 2014 and then had this from Factory with all the trimmings on

Hi Nick,

Im liking the X5 more each time i drive it, having to quell thoughts of an X5M atm, i think they are all things to all men etc, regards,. Simon.
