i also saw some very impressive off road footage of the X5, on youtube i believe. the new x-drive has made a believer out of me with respect to the new X5's all weather/all-road capabilities. very convincing snow/water/sand/rugged trail footage. still struck me as something of a sacrilege to treat such a upscale looking car that way. it's odd, as much as i like the E70 i continue to view it as too "prissy" for anything outside of valet parking. like taking a supermodel to a pig-pickin.
it was you tube i saw the vids on. here is my supermodel getting her shoes muddy.....don't believe these are repost.
