most of the time i'm in D.
every chance I get on the open highways and twisty roads i immediately shift to DS/M.. even with the 3.0 i get great acceleration and response...
i actually had a lot of fun this past sunday on my favorite back roads (which offers nothing but scenic twisties for about 30 miles)
this road is my usual playing ground when riding my Suzuki GSXR1000.
thought i'd try it with the X.. and it was great..
even beat a Ford Explorer V8 Eddie Bauer edition in the process...
wouldn't have been able to do that in D only mode..
actually not bad for a six....
i can only imagine what the 4.8 would be like...
you guys are lucky!
i'm now considering the X6 twin turbo... now that must be fun!!
