The street shots are in Meadows - seem to be a few 4.8's and 4.6's round here. I think maybe 4 on my street. Nice to hear them driving by.

Had a trip to Abu Dhabi yesterday Sayegh - coffee at the Emirates Palace was great. That place is massive. Well worth a visit.

This is a great forum. You'll enjoy and be enlightened.

How does the X5 operate in the heat? Just curious because I'm taking mine to Palm Springs in a couple of weeks (110F) for the weekend for some R&R in the desert.

I drove my '05 from Orange County Ca to Moab Utah and back over 4th of July weekend (through the Mojave desert) where temperatures reached 117 degrees in places (according to the OBC)... I was averaging between 90-110mph through the stretches of Southern Utah where signs read "No Bull! No Services next 150 miles!" Put close to 2,000 miles on in that weekend in Mjoave desert heat and no problems.

That's great to hear. It's gonna get hotter here before the summer's out!! It's such a pleasure to do the miles in an X5 - so comfortable.
