She's four wheel drive boys!. You're asking the improbable, even given the HP of the 4.8i. Sure, disconnect the X-Drive.. well, its not an entirely electronic system is it. Let's plunk down the coin for a seriously wonderful BMW, disconnect the electronics, and then see how long the remaining mechanical systems last while we thrash them in a way the engineers never intended. Ummm.. no.
Dudes, you're trying to drift .. an electronically dependent 4wd system with fat wide tires.. all designed to keep you connected. For goodness sake, get your self a Porsche Cayman or Z3 Coupe.
Oranges and Apples; THe reason the X5 did so well on the 5th Gear track for time.. ITS A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MATES!! We're comparing track times with drifting. uhhh.. drifting.. loses time on a track. It's purely for fun.
