I recently took part in an exotic car rally to Aspen. We had about 85 cars, mostly exotic/higher end sports cars. It was loads of fun in the X5 M! I had an issue getting tires for another vehicle of mine so that's why I took the X5M and I'm glad I did. I was extremely impressed with how well it performed benchmarking it against some very capable cars. Anyhow, I thought I'd share a few pics from the event. Cheers!

🤣very true! Most of the exotic drivers got a free chiropractic adjustment due to the punishing road conditions. Most comfortable car there for sure (aside from a couple of Bentley's.) I had quite a bit of seat time in a Ferrari 488 as well and when talking to other 488 owners we determined that the air conditioning only came in two modes:
1. Antarctica 2. Sahara
I remarked how nice my air conditioned seats were 😎

Bailano - I want to be you lol. How amazing of an experience that must of been. I am just a poor guy from Missouri. I MIGHT see one exotic a month. Probably just one every six months.

Is it presumptuous/rude to ask what vehicle you had trouble getting tires for? I am thinking a Ferrari or something.

Thanks a ton for posting though, so really amazing pictures and awesome to see the X5M hang against those pure breds.

I'm currently flirting with the idea of a used 458 or more likely a Porsche GT3, but currently no exotics in my garage. I was going to take my ESS 625 E92. Performance wise it can hang with many exotics but it is far from stock.
