Guys i understand all your posts, but it does not change anything really, my X went so fast to 270 and so easly that i could not believe my eyes when i looked at speedo.
When you are coming back from a trip and the thing happens spontaniously and you are going 270 i doubt you will think of taking a pick, especially reaching in your pocket taking your Nokia Arte out of the cover, turning camera on and then taking a pick for X5world guys to see, now that would be a suicide i assure you
Anyways, eventhough my car has alpina badges all over the place i doubt it has anything to do with it, but if you guys want to find out if your car can do this, for those of you who have 4.8 try it.
