   im sorry, im a loyal bmw superfan, but this is nothing compared to the land rovers. bmw’s are my favorite things in the world, but i hate it when bmw try’s to flaunt off road skills that aren’t there

   @Miles Ransom: This is driver training, I think its more about taking X owners to the limits of what the car can do, in terrain which, to be fair, would be impassable in non X models – Limits which for average-joe-driver would be pretty extreme.

   I think BMW should make a true off-road X model, something like a LR Defender/Merc G Class type vehicle – more agricultural.

   @Miles Ransom: my X5 3.0 sd goes 240 kmh (150 mph) and is agile like a sport car! I’m happy that can go on white or sand road, but it not so slow and boring on the street as a Land rover is

   I think it is virtuall impossible to have class leading on road dynamics and still have true off-road capability, thats why I think BMW need a separate model… then they should make an M version, then I’d buy one, instead of just lusting after a bowler wildcat
