X5 M
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?

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 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2634093.htm Anyway if I was spending that sort of dough it would be on a GT3
