LazyTrailRider Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I thought we agreed that you'd be buying a mountain bikers car next? Well...It has a towbar, just under 210mm ground clearance, and way more suspension travel than the 1 series, naturally. Believe it or not, it handles sand, mud and a few small ruts pretty well... In addition to the previous point, it also drives like a sedan when on the road. 0-100 in 8.5, 210km/h top end, and with the 8spd auto it cruises at 2000rpm at 120. Guess where most people (including me) spend 80-90% of their time driving? I'm too pedantic to put up with driving something that doesn't handle as well (or close to) what I've become used to. This thing feels almost like a 3 series when in sport mode and thrown around. Not quite as sharp as the 1, but perfectly acceptable. I'm a sucker for toys. Panoramic sunroof, xenons, automated tailgate, automatic highbeams, automatic climate control, automatic... actually, automatic everything. My garage does not fit a full-size bakkie. The X just-just squeezes in, and I've had to mount all sorts of stuff on the walls to make space.So, there you go. It all makes perfect sense!
