With that said, aside from cost advantage, i'd still purchase the X5M and possibly have it re-tuned by none other than Steve Dinan. In the meantime, fingers and toes crossed for a V10 TT in the XM's future  |
I'm w/ you 100%. I am personally not into lightweight cars, and like a solid heavy truck with great tow capabilities. Love all my American Trucks the most F150, Suburban etc...So I want to make the right choice for a sporty / speedy SUV/SAV. Preferably the one which is going to compete.
