Yea, I could see a lotta people not cooling down the turbos...lazy bastards . I remember before we landed on the X5, we also considered a 330i and a 530i. Along with that came the B5 S4. My god, that thing was fantastic! The steering was perfectly weighted, and the thing was just glued to the road !
