A quick thanks to an X5M owner.

I was pulling into the drive through at a local Chick-fil-A when I saw a very nice X5M in the parallel line. We chatted for a second, gave each other a thumbs up and went forward to place our respective orders.

When I got to the window to get my tortilla soup, the lady at the window told me that the gentleman in the hot rod SUV paid for me. It great gesture from a fellow enthusiast and a nice reminder that there are some very nice BMW owners out here...especially my ///M brethren.

Cheers-mk

Sergio,

Your vehicle is a monster. I really got to see them put through their paces at the M5 Launch in Spain. We assembled in the underground garage to pick up the M5s and all of the support vehicles were X5Ms and X6Ms. For the first day the weather consisted of a heavy downpour to start and became progressively worse. The X5Ms and X6Ms took off as if it were perfectly dry and the hounds of hell were in hot pursuit. I followed them in my assigned M5 from the hotel and had to screw my courage to the sticking place to keep up.

When we finally reached Ascari I was mentally drained and full of newfound respect for the X5M and X6M because prior to this display I didn't fully understand the concept. Call me schooled.

Again, great to meet you and I look forward to returning your kindness.

Cheers-Milton

Milton,
I have definitely not put the X5M through that type of drive. I guess I am a bit cautious or appreciative of what the power that it has. Though I do like to drive it fast when I can.
I bet that was a fun ride.
There is fine establishment, Twin Peaks, that I visit. The food is ok, but the scenery is better.

How cool of Sergio, and even cooler that Sergio AND Milton are both members and hooked up here afterwards.

Sergio,

I am familiar with that fine establishment. In fact, we go there quite often for some reason...

I will PM you the next time we get a group to head over there.
