Scott Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Now that is impressive. Not just off the lights, 12.8 quarter would see off most BPU drivers. Still don't like BMW though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I bet the police will be ordering a good few of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Expect to see the same engine dropped into the next gen M5. It's a shame from the purist point of view that M Divison have dropped the purely N/A approach. It will however be fun to see an M5 with the boost wound up hammering it's nuts of down the road.

No drawbacks really other than the budget will need to be quite large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I bet the police will be ordering a good few of those. they already have one in eastborne! not sure if its the same model as I can't view the video but they have a brand new x5!

johnny g Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Police up here have a few X5's, but they're standard SE Diesels. The Motorway police might get the M's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Funnily enough its the drugs coppers i have seen with the X5's. Irony at its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Well they did have to raise their game. The new Range Rover and the Porsche Cayman both piss all over the X6, and the current X5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Well they did have to raise their game. The new Range Rover and the Porsche Cayman both piss all over the X6, and the current X5s. In a straight line yes, but the Range rover would be well off the pace in the corners. That new X5M looks very impressive. Shame most will be drived through the congested city streets of London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 In a straight line yes, but the Range rover would be well off the pace in the corners. You might be surprised with the new one. Still, it's not all about power and handling with these cars. Build quality, decent parts and driving position factor quite heavily. Besides, in its natural habitat (off road) the RR will run away with any prize you want to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, The RR is still the top of its game off road. I was very surprised by how composed the X5M looked on the slalom though. I can't see these things being truly competent until they sort the fuel economy out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Impressive performance but I don't like the look of it, the big holes in the front apron spoil the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
