Yes because 99% of the people who buy these cars actually utilize the low range transfer case...

Actually more so, it went Jenny Craig but to the new chassis being a unibody instead of a body on frame "truck".

Point being people are just buying these cars as status symbols instead of using them for what they are intended. Nothing wrong with it, very smart business oriented product managers is what it is.

Back on topic... love the sound of this new X5 M. Those turbos sound phenomenal. Not that the majority of the people who can afford these cars actually will tap even 50% of the power, but still cool nonetheless
