lol...

Wow, you went through a full tank of gas on a 10 minute joy ride? Sounds like the Bugati gas mileage

Maybe you should have tried BMW assist with your dealer there so he can experience the frustration.

Sounds like it's a beast but I would not want to be the poor soul who ends up buying this particular X5M. Running out of gas and running up to the rev limiter in a pre-break-in vehicle can't be good.

Meh, old wives tale. We didn't beat the car. We just drove it. And I'm of the cloth: break in the car the way you plan to drive it.

if im right... i think its common for dealers to keep the cars on low gas... just in case someone trys to steal the car. but that was just too funny... that or he really did burn through the tank!

We literally took the car from the PDI, put the locking lugs on, and took it for a test drive.
