My neighbor, 3 doors down, has one just like that always parked outside. If V6 version is under 50G looks almost the same, why not buy the Body Mod Kit and save yourself 100G. I know turbo sounds great though...

ummmmm......... maybe becase the V6 can barely hit 60 while the Turbo S can do it under 5?!?!! Seriously ... the V6 is *HUGELY* underpowered for its mass....

Hi folks...

The Cayenne has been run against the X5 time and time again and every clip I've got shows the X5 leavin' the pepper eatin' dust.

Dowload the clip from this site and watch the X5 drift like a dream:

...a real pro test track comparison between the two beasts!

You'll love it!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! thank you for that, that was AMAZING ... i wonder why i was never able to find that before?!

that drift at the end is SICK leave it to fifth or top gear to bring us such awesome videos.

But question: you mention that "time and again and every clip" you've got ... you have others?

For about the twice the price of our X5's, it better be in another league.
The X5 isn't a luxo barge, and it's not a street racer. It's a perfect mix in between which is why it's successful. Soccer moms love it because it's a BMW. Enthusiasts love it because it's a BMW (face it, the name does mean a lot, it means the car was engineered for a specific audience) and everyone else loves it because it's a mix in between (again).

The only thing I can think of that would make the X5 better is more capable off roading abilities. Of course though, that would remove the on road powers... so just ignore me
