Thanks guys. It was fun driving it. Given I race/track tin top cars as a hobby, I have plenty of experience driving a car at the limit. And I can honestly say that this car is a bit of a relevation given it's height, weight and size. But as a racer friend said to me, physics will always win over clever electronics at the end of the day, and when it does you better have quick hands and delicate feet. What the electronics has done is to push that limit much higher. So I will pass that on as a warning message to anyone intending to push the X5M/X6M to the limit. Either be prepared or leave DSC on.

Jimsaq, have you had a chance to drive one yet? Your dealer should have a car now given that all the Melb dealers received theirs last week.
