BMW X5 M COMPETITION

An SUV gunning for sportscar territory

- 

The United States of America is probably the worst place in the world to go driving a fast car. Speeds are limited to 75mph on the motorways and there are cameras, police patrols, some roads even have helicopters and planes patrolling for speeders. So it’s damn near impossible to really push a car hard to understand what it can do. Now imagine if that car being driven happens to be the new BMW X5 M Competition, which has 625hp at its disposal, and is capable of doing a 100kmph in just 3.8 seconds. You kind of get frustrated toodling around at 60 and 80kmph. So when you get to a stretch of road that is windier than your grandfather’s clock and a bunch of cops signal you to go for it, all hell breaks loose! But that is exactly what happened, I’m not going to say where this happened cause that would be incriminating the local law enforcement, suffice to say they kind of stood there and cheered as I went whipping up a storm in the X5 M Competition.
