The E53 forum is pretty good, this one not so much IMO. Maybe the E70 is just too new to have enough real work and modifications being done to generate the forum traffic.

And yeah, my reply was smart-a$$ but only because you used the word "performance" which did make me laugh when associated with "stripes".

I'm not aware of any stripes and I've never seen any on any X5. But I live a sheltered existence.
