Yeah, it's nice to know the bells'n'whistles really work - the X5 is a tank, yet handles like a sports car, and it monitors all your systems to make sure they will work when you need them - it's the safest car I've driven in 40+yrs of driving - some of our members have found that out the hard way, but, thankfully, they've live to tell about it

Down at the Spartanburg plant I got a chance to drive their 2 off road courses and the skid pads - driving 70+mph on wet pavement, stand on the brakes and make a 90 degree right turn - the ABS worked great with complete control through the turn - it's really a great confidence boost to actually know what it can do
