Well the X handled the task superbly as I knew it would. It hauled me, my wife and our dog (along with all our crap) from Maryland to the Northern Territory of Vermont, about 540 miles away. The X did great and the ride was beautiful. In Vermont I saw no other X5's and not even a BMW dealership. In fact, I only saw 5 X5's on my trip up and back.

We rented a house on Lake Fairlee with 500 feet of waterfront along with a dock, beach, 3 kayaks, 1 canoe, 1 row boat and a pontoon boat. Not to mention the floating dock with a slide and diving board! The weather was beautiful, which is more than I can say for the weather I'm now in back home.

Here are a few shots:
