X5 handling is pretty amazing!!

[deutsch100]

Yesterday was beautiful, sunny and warm here in SoCal. I took a long lunch pause drive thru Topanga Canyon and Mulholland Drive (if any of you know these 2 famous streches in CA, you'll know what a great drive they are).

Tons of twisty turns and ups and downs. I do not even have Adaptive Drive (my '08 4.8i had it), yet IMHO, I do not feel any difference between my '11 35d and the '08 4.8i with Adative Drive.

It's amazing, for the size and weight of this X5, to be able to accelerate into turns and curves and actually feel the car sink in, stay 100% planted and just cut thru the turns. The feel and stability of the X5 in twisty turns, is honestly not that much different than our M6 or our last 2008 911 Turbo.

After having 3 MLs (two were 6.3 AMGs) and 3 Range Rovers....the X5 really does feel like a sport sedan & I have never been in another SUV that can handle like the X5. Impressed, really impressed!!
