How much would you be willing to bet? Betting means you could lose.

If practical reigned supreme none of us should have purchased a $70,000 SUV. Further, since the vast majority of us never go off road, paying for (potentially) more off road capabilities of the Porsche Cayenne is even less practical.

If practical applied to off roading in any way no one would be doing it.

Assuming the BMW ABS system would be a problem, while the Porsche may not have the same problem, it makes sense that the Porsche would have other problems that BMW would not as neither is factory prepared to do what Sarek is doing.

Finally, which one would would be better off road from the factory is clearly hypothetical at this point.

I can identify with Salek. I used to drag race a nail head Buick with an automatic transmission. It wasn't cool to have an automatic. It was easy to make a Chevy go fast. The Buick was a huge challenge, cost more to be competitive, and took some time to get there but can you imagine the feeling of accomplishment, gratification and the fun I had when I started winning? Not much has changed. My X5 is a big sleeper, not the practical way to go. It pegs the fun meter and you should see the expressions on peoples faces at the Cars and Coffee. I'm guessing you would one of those by expression think I am crazy--I hope so.
