Thank God no kids were outside playing.. if a ball rolled into the street or something.. Even if they looked, the guy was going like 85mph.. They'd be dead..

Sounds like a 3.0i, cuz it sounds almost just like our X3 2.5i. The V8 also sounds different, I'm pretty sure.

I found it funny that no one realized the Steptronic changed gears on its own sometimes before the idiot driver prompted for the upshift. For example, the very first hard 1-2 upshift timing is off. I've learned that if I'm going to *try and impress* using manual mode, I'd better time my right arm to make sure my shifts don't occur after the computer upshifts itself.

Way too many cars for that kind of driving. I've passed illegally....twice.....in my 2 years of driving. I feel that there's always some that will eventually slow me down after a fast drive, but I don't pass illegally cuz I conclude "well, that's it for now." Plus when you pass by a roadside parking lot, someone (a child!) could walk out from behind a car without you suspecting.

What an idiot! I'm driving like an a$$ butI hope I didn't hurt my car and I wasted gas? Quit driving like and idiot and you'll get better gas mileage and won't break your car. Where are the cops when you need them?

We all did dumb things in cars when we were kids but I never drove thru populated streets like that. We can only hope they will hit a pole or tree and not someones kids.

Those kids are idiots. And that is defiantely a 3.0. Sounds nothing like my 4.4 Its defiantely a 3.0 and thank God. Because if he had the extra 100hp of the 4.4 or 130hp of the 4.8 he would have killed himself.
