| BMW vs ML shootout last weekend
did the ultimate BMW Driving Experience last weekend.
Basically you do a shoot out of the X5 4.8is vs ML500 vs LX470 vs Volvo XC90sport in full throttle, pedals to the metal (brakes and accelerator!!!) around a short auto cross type course - with a professional driver by your side.
Excellent experience!
The BMW was definitely the sportiest of them all.
The Lexus was the worst - non linearity in braking or acceleration - and handling is downright dangerous.
Link to a couple of videos of us racing:

I think the GX470 would have been a better match. |

I think it was the GX - I may have put in a typo....
Anyway you'll like this one - what a great instructor:

Was that a ML63? I'm looking at the front wheel well of the black truck in the first video and the fender flare has a lip - neither the Bimmer nor the ML500 has the lip. What vehicle is that? Wasn't there a Volvo also in the meet? That's not the Lexus for certain. |

The X5s have always had the black plastic fenderwell trim.Hmm, I think the XC90 has had them as well, but the one in the vid has the fender side markers.
