Talking about such (tricky) situations, I live in Africa where animals both domestic and wild pops up from no where on the highway.... talking about pulling over your X5 hug and and kiss it... I did!

I was doing about 230km/h on the highway about 4 or 5 big wild animals (I guess Kudus, I couldnt tell, I freaked out!) I guess they were either scared or spooked from somewhere in the bushes came dashing across the road just when I was passing, the first one was so close but managed to dodge it.. in a flash 3 or so more appeared I did a fast zig zag maneuver and managed to avoid the whole bunch... few meters after the "ordeal" I stopped on the side. Switch on the hazard lights. We (with 2 other passengers) came out... wondered what the hell were those animals!

While still trying to figure out about the animals one of the guys said "Thats why I love X5s..." Thats when the attention was shifted from the animals from hell to the X5.. I just went on the bonnet BMW logo and kissed It!... we talked about cars all the way....
