Just test drove an X5M

Let me put it to you this way, I was making a u turn onto an open road.. Perfect opportunity to open it up.

Just as I straighten out the wheel I go wide open throttle in 1st gear, sport mode.

The power came on so quick that the tach went from idle to Yellow/Red shift, with no linear motion.. It actually jumped right into yellow as soon as I hit the gas.. No lag, no hesitation..

The X5M delivers power faster than it knows what to do with. It delivers power like a sledge hammer.
