2200KG's so it's not impressive, it's a 4x4. It's mostly used by women to pick up there 1 child from school who lives 2 miles away.

And it's complete and utter ****e off road, so whats the point in it?

Now the X6, thats even worse.

Sometimes theres shopping and little Johnny,plus a deep puddle in waitrose car park to contend with, its all starting to make sense now isnt it

Trivia. The engine in the X5 4.6iS is the same as you'll find in the Alpina B10 V8. It also has E39 M5 clocks complete with variable redline fitted as standard, the only non M power car to have these.

Variable redline? Wossat for then? My nerd sense is tingling

Oil temperature I'm guessing. Stops it being ragged when cold. Thats purely a guess though.

 

[Relentless81]

Meh, cant be, Honda have been doing that years. Its too cold for VTEC to kick in y0

 

[Morba]

X5 is lovely, the iS is fanastic in Estoril Blue and what an engine. Fairly rare beasts those, as well.

Agreed, lovely motor that!

is it s177eww?
if so looks nice.



Lol i think they've aged ok mjt lol, but if you think mine looks old have another look at a Phase 1 model lol (mine is phase 3). I like its Retro block of cheese shape and large engine in comparision to what is the norm now though (blob shape small forced induction) Nothing beats a roaring N/A car imo.

Phase 1:

Aye, we had one of the first off the production line in 1993.
Had a 5dr 1.8XT from new for 7 years, no trouble at all.

Although to be fair, the facelifts hardly change it that much
Ours was older than that though, didn't even have the chrome surround on the Lion.

well, the back is the biggest improvement though changes imo, phase 1-2 is biggg 2-3 is teeny changes (no black plastic, round fogs, no rear window rubber, more airbags, silver interior bits (gearknob too), no plastic strip on boot.) Quite glad i got a 3 tbh, although 1's are faster.

 

[mjt]

Airbgas? Pah!

The 3 is the best though, I was just surprised at just how dated these things look. Shame, as it means I'm getting old

Such a laugh, like driving a go Kart! Accelerates reasonably for what it is and grips well too.
