Hahaha, ouch, you really took that to heart didnt you mate!! Guess that cant afford comment really narked you off, guess thats why you drive a diesel! If it were about egos and horse boxes i would have a Range Rover, not an X5. I just like the car, same as i like the S3, mainly as it pulls my kids around without being too boring a drive. Just cause you dont like it doesnt make it an 'Ego' car, a little judgemental i think. You dont like it when i judge you by your car and assume that because its an A3 and diesel that you cant afford something better so dont judge and assume that an X5 owner cant drive, owns horses and is full their own self importance! Not sure what your obsession with horses is, its just a joke username referring to a film you ****!

3 posts and an Infraction already.
Impressive...even for an X5 driver!

Watch your language please...if in doubt, please re-read the rules you agreed to abide by.

That applies to all here...so keep the personal insults down and the language clean...thanks.

Nah Ess will provide some more wisdom about the whole 4x4 views, then we'll all disagree on things, thats what a forums for debate, but I personally dont appreciate the you cant afford my car attitude, that tbh is not needed on here
 
When my was uncle choosing a new car early last year he was drooling over the new X5 4.8....When I took him to see one it turned out to be no bigger than a new 3 series inside, which is pretty poor for a car that takes up so much room from the outside...It didnt drive as it should of either the body roll was scary as anything, The porsche cayennes have no trouble when it comes to roll. The one we drove was a top model and spec'd sports edition. So then I took him to see a S55 AMG which is not really a car to compare it to but at the end of the day a better buy. it has alot more room, alot more gadgets, its better thought out as a car, faster...ALOT faster, drives smoother and its a Merc!
 
Im sure X5s are not that expensive anyway autotrader here I come
 
Blimey starting from 5K!! they have depreciated!!

Ess are you implying NHN only has one ball????
 
Right...ENOUGH!

Keep the insults down please.
I don't like handing out warnings...but rules are rules.

Those long term members should know better.
The newbies should have the decency and respect not to start ******* people off after only a couple of posts.

Failure of either to calm down will result in you getting banned.
End of conversation.

Now...as you were.
 
Nah X5's & generally all suv's have taken a massive tumble since car market crashed, all these bigwigs have seen there fuel costs go through roof & there shares drop like a lead weight, lol

But tbh I dont like the Q7 either, Q5 is ok but I cant see point in them except to tbh showoff
 
well after viewing this thread earlier, i decided to take my mams x5 out in the snow and overall, it is really good in the snow, mayby not as ''fun'' in the snow as the s3 but thats not what the x5 is for, its ploughs through the snow like it is designed for, and with the gradient button, you can press it and the car automatically takes you down a steep ice gradient at a walking pace, preventing you from pressing the brakes and losing control, i also parked the x5 on a steep ice hill expecting it to spin on inital movment, however this was not the case, overall the x5 in my opinion compes really well with the snow and its a great car over all.

Obviously not from your POV, one more & I get a set of steak knives

I am fully endowed, considering a breast augmentation though,

Its funny cause I've seen far worse language on this forum & attitude & I see no intervention from a mod/admin, so how longs this infraction for this time

the guy had a ****** attitude, I dont know most newbies that come on here with that attitude at all, I didnt so why should we accept as a community his attitude, his reply to my comments just made my point valid anyway, ridiculous but alas, guess thats how the forums run these days

lock/unlock I stand by my comments even if its not to everyone's liking, cant please them all huh
 
well i don't know about you lot, but i'm off to the X5 site to look for some forum porn.:)

I'm getting sick of your attitude and bleating.
You get an Infraction from another Mod, whinge to me about it...and go and behave in the same way. So you get another.
Simple.

The Infraction is for the usual set time...unless you want me to increase it? Or give you another?

As for other comments, language or attitude...you have a 'report post' button in the same way as everyone else does...use it.
If you choose not too, stop moaning about stuff we don't know about, especially when you get pulled up for it.

There is a way of making a point without using the language and attutude you did...especially after being warned previously for your attitude.

He got an Infraction too, don't forget.
