Re: Autocar drives the E70 X5f - 10-25-2006, 03:21 PM

Yep.

I told you!

Just wait to see comparison tests. Especially Road behaviour, steering, handling, ride quality categories.

Btw, another review HERE (by Automobile.com)

Pumping out 355 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, the 4.8-liter V8 can push the 4,949 pound beast from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds. All well and good in the performance sport ute segment, but as you may have guessed by my opening paragraph the X5 is even more about cornering. With xDrive AWD and tires that nearly rival a Corvette for the size of their contact patch, its no wonder the X5 will beat a 328i through the slalom. Its center of gravity has been lowered, and extensive weight-saving materials from the engine have made their way to the chassis. Like I said before, the X5 drives more like a 5-Series than a top-heavy SUV.
