BMW X5: Off Road Adventure In Africa - Carfection

This was very fun to watch. I've never thought of the X5 as an off-road capable vehicle, but this video shows otherwise.

Enjoy!

With a proper off road tire and wheel size the X5 xDrive system can tackle just about any commercial off-road vehicle available to the public.

I use 4WD on my property often. Even with my big ass Conti's, it walked right through 3 inches of mud, about 50 yards wide, in one of my pastures. I would bet I am the only one on this list that can say I've had to wash off-road mud off my X5.

Also most people wouldn't want to drag their $70K+ vehicle through the mud...
I know I wouldn't of fear of scratches and exterior damages.

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed watching what this vehicle is capable of.

Makes me wonder how many rattles developed on that car after a run like that lol
