I am moderately aggressive with the X5, but even more so with my coupe ;)

I don't "floor" it much, but I'd say my driving style is spirited as well. I use manual mode most of the time as I have paddle shifters and they make it very convenient and irresistible! I'm usually the first one off the line too because I don't want to take a chance of getting an annoying slow driver in front of me. Am I being childish? ;)

:iagree:

I drive like a complete jerkoff most of the time...I find my self punching it from lights a lot...it is something that carries over from driving one of my other cars (rumored that agressive takeoffs dont wear out the clutches as fast in f1 style transmissions) well that and I am always in a hurry

I wouldnt call my driving aggressive so much, just quicker than most. I really find that my X does better when its driven hard. In the early mornings I drive slow (because Im still half asleep) and I feel every bump, hear every rattle, notice un-needed high revs.

But if I just drive it quickly, everything seems to fall into place. Bumps smooth out, cant hear the rattles, and higher revs are warrented.

Oh also, this brings up another question. I know some people who, when trying to quickly/agressively pass, flip the car into Sport mode. Then when around the other car flip it back to regular automatic.

Does this really do anything other than waste more gas?

Yea, but has anybody here had to swap a tranny? And no, I don't mean transvestite.

I'm in the red Jules.

and it's not a good idea to keep a race car in the red...

I would do Jules' quote but it is not exactly work safe
