Hey all.

I don't want to hi-jack the thread, but as a relatively new X5 owner, I haven't had the same success with quick stopping. I am coming from a 2001 325 where the brakes were just fantastic. I saved myself from more than a few accidents with the amazing stopping power of the BMW.

Anyway, I know the X5 weighs about 6000 lbs in my configuration, and clearly there are going to be some differences between the 3 series and the X, but there have been a few times where I just felt like the brakes were not performing as well as many of you have stated in this thread. FYI, I have a 2005 4.4L.

This vehicle is a CPO and they did replace the pads, rotors etc under warranty before I got the car, but that was almost 2 months ago.

Do I just need to stop being a puss and hit these brakes hard? Maybe I'm just being too gentle. This has been the biggest change from the 3 series to me.

Any words of wisdom?

Thanks,

Rob H
