cruiser647 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Look at these!!! http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/tsn-motor-news/117451-new-bmw-m-model-suvs.html#post1403376 As Stig says, definitely footballer cars. Ugly as sin, but I bet they make a great sound though. Don't know where they get the mpg figures from As if! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) The air intakes up front are huge on that X5! I can see this being a popular sight on the streets of SW London, too. Edited April 6, 2009 by JonC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm struggling to think of a car as ugly as this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_hargreaves Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Those big gaping vents look horrendous. I'd rather have the N/A 4.8is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm Chris Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Here's a question for you. Say you won one or the MD gave you one as a bonus, both on the conditions that a)you can run the car free of all costs b) you can't sell it on. So does the car suddenly become more attractive ? On a side note I'd own one if I ever got to a position where I retained a 10 car fleet- it would be car 9 or 10 subject to deciding if a RR Overfinch thingy or a Cayenne Turbo was more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupramax Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 So whats the betting some numb nuts with no motoring knowledge will re arrange his badges so he ends up with a BMW MX5, oh the amusement he will inadvertantly cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Doubtless the Alpina versions will look less like The Fat Slags on wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1MAC Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 yes, yes, yes - brillliant, one to upset the neighbours and tree huggers with A nuclear bomb would upset the neighbours & tree huggers but that doesn't make it a good thing. To answer the questions - Thrice ney! I'd politely refuse and suggest the money went to charity (unless they offered a proper sporting equivalent as opposed to a racing truck). BMW - :nono: Going just as far wrong as your Japanese cousin, just in the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 its a performance car forum and no-one likes the performance cars. funny. 0-60 in 4.5secs in an 4x4 is pretty bloody funny if you ask me. I dont think an X5/X6 is that much heavier than its 5-series counterpart is it. also makes me laugh how eco warriors think a bigger car must be badderer for the environment than a little car. queue the people with some common sense questioning the waste product from an electric car battery, or the extra exhaust fumes from a 10 year old car. and of course, something has to tempt people to spend money on a new car in this climate. If i was going to spend a big wad on a new 4x4, I'd want it to sound and feel grunty in exchange for my 80k or whatever they are. often only need 3000+ units to make a model profitable, so could well work.

Biscuits Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Brilliant ! The perfect combination... M3 speed, Range Rover comfort... Just need one to be 6 months old and £40k and I'll buy one :D PS: Still would have the X5 over the X6... still can't see why you'd only want 4 seats in a SUV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
