Actually you'd be surprised they hold up very well. On Road Atlanta I was in one for an entire day in blistering heat and the pads and tires were fine. Total of 40 laps if I recall. I road with the M test driver Limmer for a half dozen laps or so and there was no fade or issue with him then me taking over. By the end of 10 laps the pedal was mush bc of stock fluid but the pads were still there (had to drive it back to Atlanta).
The tires being RFTs dissipate the weight and heat well and if I recall the compound wasn't all that soft so they wore even and still had plenty of life. The one thing I do not recall is the Magnetic suspension..... I am thinking Matt is wrong on that. If I get a chance I will look.
EDIT: Matt is wrong, no magnetics,The swaybars are hydraulic and the shocks use hi-speed valves.
I love the X5M.... which is the X6M with some added function!
