Track day.... lol
LOL so i got "pressured" to track the X5....all it took was one person saying "Hay Haithem i thin....." and me cutting him off saying "TRACK THE TOW VEHICLE" ...lol

If any of you know PIR in portland, or....I was hitting 134 on the back straight and 130/1 on the front. With better tires and more confidence in the brakes im sure i could be much faster.....but i got the beast to oversteer hahahahaha So i can officially say i've drifted the car!! But yep....very capable on the track!

998M is on a distinguished road
OctoberFast is coming up at Road America the BMWCC in August. I have been thinking about taking the X5M up to it for giggles. I think it would be a ton of fun on the track. I am concerned about tires and brakes. Tires are $500 a piece for the 215 wheels. And while the brake rotors are over 15" in diameter, the calipers and pads are completely inadequate for the hard braking at RA.

I wasn't even going 7/10ths.....and i felt it needed more brakes!!! The tires are very inadequate...they got goopy around 4 laps....so yeah....unless you want to get Rcomps and do a brake flush and get some custom made SS brake lines.....i'd only do a few laps!
