i have a question about your roof rails . i am getting the hardest time getting my dealer to admit they forgot them or something like that . i have been getting every story in the book so far besides "we will make it right". did your car come with them or were they put on at the dealership ? i just now signed for my car and the 3m tape i purchased is being applied as i type , so i have to figure out what the deal is with the rails asap...

.

They are put on at the factory.. I ordered the car with them.

Yes, you would think that.

You'd also think they would use real carbon fiber and aluminum trim. Not.

Even without those items, it's still a nice play to be sitting when you're exercising the 555 ponies

I drove the X5M but it was just a quick drive around the block, down the stretch and back to the dealer. It was over lunch time traffic and the sales guy was with me! So I didn't really get a 'feel' for how it drives. I know it surely felt different than my 4.8i and the steering had a lot more interaction. My Current active steering even with dynamic handling feels like it has more play. I didn't get a good chance to take off from a stop light! Does it go like a bat out of hell or does it pick up speed as it slowly lifts it's weight? The Cayenne Turbo felt like the latter. It didn't exactly blast off the line, rather effortlessly pick up speed really fast...

Haven't really nailed mine yet - 125 miles.

My brief excursions to 5500 rpm lead me to believe it will not have the lag/delay of the Cayenne.

At < 4.5 0-60, she's going to go like hell under WOT in M mode

I'm ready for one of y'all to come out of break-in period and try out a "launch control" start!

It is supposed to be comperable to launch mode in the SMG transmissions.

Next time tell the sales guy that you can't test the car till you hit the highway. Sales guy should know that around the block is not for ///M cars.

Ya. Very nice indeed ... but those wheels. Argh ... what were they thinking?! With out doubt, the worst rims they have ever put on a M car. Sad really, because the wheels they put on the M5 and M3 are awesome.
