I am sure I will get flamed.....but, the X5 would be one of my last choices for "mud play," "rock play," or any off-road setting..

And you would be wrong. Few guys on here doing this with their x5s. Apparently you can make them quite capable. There are a few on YouTube. And don't forget, it's sold all over the world. These cars see a fair share of extreme conditions and do it just fine.

I love the pic, supper cool.

I agree though, if I was going for a off road vehicle to build, I wouldn't start with the x5.

Jeeps, toyotas, rovers, all better starting points. Honestly I'd probably even take a Mercedes over the BMW for an off road build.

I bought the x5 because it's way more engaging on the road than the others listed.

I guess that is true, if you throw a lot of money at any vehicle you can make it off road worthy...

Your rig must be differant than mine.....for the life of me I can't find how to move the transfer case to low....I must have got the non off-road package...
