BMW X5 35d 20-130mph test
I got a chance to drive a 12' X5 35d on an open closed road so I decided to take a video after I was impressed with how it pulled.
Coming out of a 05' 4.8is the diesel is stout and pulls strong all the way to its 130mph limiter. Sorry for the shakiness but this will give you a great idea of how a diesel X5 will accelerate

Would it go up to 155mph? Judging by arrow being really close to redline at 130mph, I doubt it could.. |

Out of my first tank of diesel I will actually go around 25klm further and it is a long way from being run in yet. PS. I also thrashed it up the beach on friday night at full tide for 10 klm to the beach house, it was runing in 3rd gear at around 3700revs, full loaded with gear as well. Coming back on Sunday was low tide and it was smoother than a freeway drive.

Now I am working on BMW Apps (nearly completed)
Have Pandora working as the overseas IP addresses are no longer banned. Have SMS & eMails working in iDrive, can push play to have them read out while driving also.
