First impresions of my new X5 M!!

Hi all...

I just got my X5 M. Car is pretty nice, here are the high and low of the car in my very personal opinion!!

Sounds very good!!
Brakes excellent.
I'm impress with the handling of the car.

Doesn't feels very fast, I felt my old ML63 has better response than the X5 M.
I notice a little delay on shifting between a gear and the next one.
Seems a regular X5 with m package with just except a different front and rear bumper.

Overall the car is OK and I love it!!

Thanks in advance!!

A Sprint Booster can help solve this problem.

4.8is is a slow car compare to the new X5 M....

Why the new X5 M doesn't come with air suspension like other high performance SUV?

Regards!

Rear is self leveling for towing.

The reason it's not 'full air' is that it adds weight, complexity and is not necessary for a truck that will never go off road.

Slightly off topic.... but have you considered Jason Heffner's TT kit for your LP640? Was released a month or so ago, and is a work of art.

Congrats on your M, enjoy!
