To those who tracked their x5's. My question is, did you guys enjoy it or were you guys disappointed?

ok the simple answer to your question is: it was a lot of fun while it lasted

however, it's SUCH an easy car to drive at the limit, it doesn't offer much of a challenge. that said, as quick as it is for a small tank, it won't keep up with any sports cars i'm afraid.

Thanks for the answer! I'll be careful with my brake fluid hehe. I really hope the x5 would perform tomorrow

I'm not sure it's a good Idea if you have an Automatic transmition...

If you have a manual shift, just take off the car everything you can, change your brake fluid and put some sport tire on it with an adapted pression.

Don't forget to heat well the tire during the first lap, and beware to the brake efficiency after 2 or 3 fast lap (with stock brake)

Have fun !
