Sold the X5M

[Jimshorts]

Traded my 2010 X5M with 83k miles on it for a 2012 Jeep GC SRT8 yesterday. Had a blast with the M while I had it. Miles were getting high and the warranty was coming up and I didnt want to get stuck with a stretched timing chain or some other unexpected repair. I'm going to miss the speed and those turbos spooling but I think it was the right move.

Ill still be poking around here so if yall have any questions or need some tips for racing these tanks dont be afraid to toss me a PM... Been a blast guys.

Any pics of the SRT8? Those are some nice SUVs...

5 speed in the 2012 and it shifts HARD when your on it. The nav is def a downgrade ill admit it but their are other perks that i think are nicer/cooler than the x5m. Its of course slower as well but the RIPP superchargers are under 8k for the kit plus install and thats good for over 500awhp. Have to remember its still a jeep and not bmw.


Havent had a chance to take some shot but I throw them up here when i get a chance.

Finally got cooled seats in my whip, exhaust note is so much nicer than the x5m, it drives like a truck(not a car trapped in an suv), side view mirror defrosters built it, dvd player(obv. an option i could have had in a x5m), rear seats recline real nice for passengers, i like the seats much better(side bolsters really hug you in the turns), blind spot warning, auto cruise control(adjusts to the vehicle infront of you). Remote starter built into the stock key(will come in handy in the cold buffalo winter).

Those are just a few things that ive noticed so far. Im sure i will run into more.
