Oh I don't know, I think he's doing very well.  I was thinking of recommending a name change to 2 amp.  ie. a very short fuse!  :P

535dboy doesn't do fuses, he's hard wired  :))

Did someone mention curry  :)

You wait until I start being ageist, racist and gayist to add in to the mix of being Xist!

Thanks for that..... ::)

Just as well you're actually a nice guy & not homophobic or racist then...... albeit hypothetically a couple of clicks would easily sort matters  ;)

We will let him know.......after the event

If I come your way we can try and see if we can max the RS4 down the A27. I'm sure you will be fine being a passenger in the car on that trip ;)

Anyway, back to the thread  ::)

I have to say I like this a lot as indeed i like the X6. The cross over Coupe/SUV works for me in terms of looks and function. The X4 is arguably the best looking 'X' model either current or coming and should sell well.

The e70 X5 IMO is too big for what I would want of/need as a car. The X3 missed a huge opportunity in it's new guise and I see no advantage of an X1 over a 'F' series xdrive Touring.

I stuggle to remember of the last time BMW launched a car that looked wow the first time I saw it, but they do grow on you and I have to say they age very well compared to other marques.

I don't think BMW design or function wrong with the F25 X3.......although slightly more striking looks front &  rear might have helped sales. Having driven an F25 I can honestly say I would buy if in a position to do so..

IMO F25 X3's biggest downfall was timing in relation to Evoque launch. (strong Image & most striking looks in  that class).

I like the look of the X4........even if it needs some front end design tweaking.
