What do you think? *56k warning*

Check out spring cleaning time, wash polished and wax, and cleaned the inside what do you think, purty isn't it. Pics aren't the best sun was washing out the images. Time to get a better cam suggestions?





Oh look at my cool driving gloves

I always wanted an X with a manual, how does it handle? I was concerned that the weight would be a problem for the clutch/differential if driven hard making for a rough ride....

A couple of comments -

Technomage - good pix and very nice ride. The BMW gloves are a very nice touch.

East Coast X5world members have cleaner cars than the West Coasters these days. But that will end as soon as these dreaded rains stop.

Slushboxes are great, but nothing beats the synchronicity between hand, foot, brain, and car while mowing through the gears of a manual transmission.

You'd very surprise, after the intial shock, what I mean is it has an interesting clutch take a lil while to get used to. This thing is a beast in manual I can have this car up to 70 mph in less than 1000 feet, its very smooth once you get use to it. Trust me on a highway this car is soooo much fun.

Oh yea, people always wonder why I wear driving gloves but I think its makes a big difference, I hate driving around with sweaty hands esp in the heat with the windows down. I like the gloves a lot to though.

Nice ride! I have the same gloves. The plastic logo disks fell off both gloves the first time it got cold. Functionally they're great though.
