My New Daily Driver...

[B C]

I love those X5s so much.

A co-worker of mine pretty much convinced me to never get one based on the experience he had with one but I hope yours serves you well

Bag it on 24s

I got annoyed with having two coupes... trying to fit stuff in the car every time I go to Menards, folding the seat forward to cram someone in the back, etc.

Looks like you and I had similar thoughts... nice X5!!

handsome truck.

any plans to lower it? they look so good dumped.

It's crossed my mind, but I don't know if I will on this one. If I get an E70, I definitely will drop it.

Ahhh gotcha!  Well if you need anything let me know.  I can get the Ziza full interior LED kits for more than 50% off.

I ordered a 22pc LED kit on eBay yesterday with their 15% off sale... if that turns out like shit I'll let you know!

If it was the V8, I believe it. Apparently the V8s in just about any X5 is very unreliable.

Thanks! Clicking your thread right meow...

Awesome I could see hauling things in your car would be annoying. I did that for so many years. You totally need to lower it though!

[KaiserRolls]

Cool! Must be an odd change of pace! 

please don’t call these trucks

I feel like I'm driving a massive E46.

Everyone on the forums refers to them as a "truck" and it's the weirdest thing.

[YoungCR]

All the sales guys would refer to them as "trucks" too. It's a lifted 5 series although they do tow small trailers well.  Anyways nice purchase. I actually don't the mind the murdered out look. If you like this, you'll for sure like the E70's.

Truck, no. I will say though, that you can tow much more than people give credit. I pulled a 5k lb loaded trailer with my x3 over 300 miles with no issue.

I looked up some specs on Jake's X5 and was impressed to see some of the numbers.
It weighs more than a modern mid size truck, it has the same towing capacity as a modern mid sized truck, along with the same payload capacity. I was fairly surprised to see such large numbers from it.
I can't imagine towing 6500lbs with a 3 liter would be fun though!
