My friend just got a X5 4.4 with only 12k miles on fully load with Nav. he let me drive it and this car can move. Do you think i can tae him?

 

i think you two need to think about something else other than racing each other.. like who's backseat is bigger and who can carry more hoes

 

• Race him then tell us about it
• If you don't know how to launch he will win easily
• Maybe you should make your sig longer so you guarantee a win!

 

I have an '03 and I embarrassed a 4.4i X5 yesterday when pulling onto the expressway in Naperville. This guy spent the previous 5 miles on the way to the ramp passing everyone in his way. However!!!! He got passed big time when we hit the ramp...was fun. He was alone and I had 2 additional passengers as well...

 

Unless you are an awesome driver he would destroy you off the line light to light.

 

Well, we did not have the opportunity to race from a stop. He was in front of me the entire time until the ramp because of traffic.

 

0-60 from BMW site for the 4.4i is 7.2

you guys think its true? cuz then a 2k/2k1 5sp should take it

 

uh, that would be the guy in the x5

 

7.2 seems a little underrated. I had one on order at one point before backing out, and during the 30 minute test drive it felt a bit quicker than that. the big winner about it though was being able to take 35mph turns at 75mph and not budge.. the body style looks rather mini-van'ish, but it's definitely a pimp ride..

 

if you guys checked the new 4.6 X5...those things got 315 on the back tires, its 20" rims. you can take turns as fast as you want to

 

the 4.6's are pretty crazy for an SAV.. the pricetag is even crazier.. I've seen only two so far, one on the lot, and one by my work.. woman toting her kids with the soccer stickers on back..

 

I raced a 3.0L sometime ago, the guy jump start plus he had a 1/2 car length ahead before the light turn green, I showed him who was the boss. A race with a 4.4 would be a differnet story though.

Cheers

i have both a 2k1 X5 4.4 and 2k2 SE. both auto. although, i can't run myself, i thihk it would be a very close race. the max may pull it out in 0-60 off the line, but the X5 would probably have the edge while cruising speed and top speed.

 

nah.. the x5 is as big as a 5 series.. the max interior is bigger than the X5

oh and btw.. to the other peeps..the 4.4 is 0 - 60 in 6.6 seconds ..

 

I raced one on the highway, at 100 plus he pulled from me. I have a 2k autotragic with franken. It was fast and it could handle very well.

 

yep...those are BEASTS the 4.4 has 320 torque

if you want the best SUV, get the 4.6 X5...best one out there, just got it all

 

but as long as the girls are thick, and not fat you should be good in either

 

I raced one at the track, he got 9.0 in the 1/8th
