ahhhhhh

yes the X5 does not handle windy days very well...yes I too experienced this. On a windy day you can feel the X5 pulling at speeds over about 75-80 mph.

Should I slow done or keep going? on the same speed around 95mph?

Did you not read my all-important, law-suit-proof disclaimer? It is the driver's responsibility to operate his/her vehicle in a responsible manner. Use your judgement.

I am not sure if the orginal poster is asking about cross buffeting of winds or torque response and gearing at higher speeds.

I have no issue with either. I have no tracking issues and when speeding up the tranmission drops down a gear and off I go.

thats up to you...there is no problem, just harder to handle

oh..you mean pulling from left to right. Sometimes the higher profile does act like a sail in stiff crosswinds.

The CHP might tolerate 75...might. But 80, it's a certain ticket. Although the #1 lane is known as the fast lane, even the CHP has it's limits.
