Either that, or what bloody engine do those BMW X5's have???!!!
Last night, on the way home from the in-laws, I had an x5 next to me at the lights leading to the M62. When the lights changed to green the guy in the X5 pulled away quite quickly indeed.
Not one to pass on the opportunity for a little fun, I booted it.
OK, so I passed him but my god did he keep up - I didn't pull away from him as fast as I thought I would. To give an idea of how fast this X5 was, I only managed to gain about 10 yards on him by the time I'd hit 105mph (at which time I realised what speed I was doing and eased off).
After I'd eased off the gas, the guy pulled past me and as he moved into my lane in front of me it appeared as though he was masturbating a ghost between the two front seats!
So, the question is, is there something wrong with my T5 or are these X5's really that fast? They're lovely cars and if I'm honest, I wouldn't mind one if I was a housewife with two kids to drop off at school five days a week, but they're heavy cars and I really didn't expect one to be able to keep up.
