Some off road in an E53.

Like others, I didn't know it was that capable. Yet after seeing the video of one climbing on top of another car from flat in a parking lot, this is really not so hard to believe at all.

Looks like fun, but my biggest concern would be the very expensive parts that could be damaged.

Still, it is good to know that in emergencies, it can do a lot more than I expect.

Nice. I wouldn't mind doing trails. But that is too risky for me.

I had a jeep wrangler before and it makes that climb feel like a speed bump.

However I'm surprised the x5 had no issues due to how heavy it is.

I have a 2002 4runner. If i can't sell for the right price. I may turn it into a go anywhere vehicle.

A buddy of mine has a 2002 maybe 2003 4Runner as well, 2inch suspension lift, 35s...4x4, electronic rear locker...it rips through things better than the X5, but I keep up with him.

What was the clunking noise at the six second mark?

Ya know? I have no idea...did it on speed bumps for a long time now...new thrush arms, new ball joints, new tie rods, new shock mounts, new shocks...new bushing...same front end noise...


I gave up on getting rid of the noise...3 years after the noise starts still handles fine. Honestly, between the off roading and triple digits on the interstate...the thing takes a beating and still holds up like a champ. It's unreal.
