Nice long drive to test the X3

Post by nickyboy2013 » Tue Mar 26, 2013 10:39 pm

Driving to England in the morning for Easter, 15hrs that should give it a good test run, and some nice Autobahns to give it some welly. :drive: :policeman:

When you get back to Blighty you'll feel like you could make the journey back there and then (because the X is so good over long journeys, not because the Daily Mail readers think the UK is going to the dogs!).

Always felt we should employ Leslie Philips to stand at Dover saying "welcome back old boy!" to passing Brits.  I guess in a German registered X that might not have applied to you.  I'm rambling.  Enjoy the drive.
