Only one guy did it in the states so far and he's here in the NY/NJ area. Zed in Europe and that truck influenced me just a little to switch from purchasing an M3 to spending even more money on an X5M.

So no one has broken into the 9s in the X5M ? interesting

No.. closest person is Ramon performance in Russia I believe they went 10.3 if I'm not mistaken. But all in all it takes a lot to get such a heavy vehicle into the 9's without support from the aftermarket industry.

It's like getting a M5 pulling a thousand pound trailer into the 9's....not to mention double the frontal area which becomes a serious drag (pun intended) at the 140+ trap speed to run a 9.

My highly precise guess-o-meter indicates 1100whp, aftermarket axles, aftermarket driveshaft, race frictions in transmission and transfer case, barely legal "street" slicks in back should do the trick. Super easy if you have an extra 50k laying around

From what I can see on your IG you were tuned right? If so thats impressive that you made it to 99k miles with no issues, if you did im guessing they were minor. Do you mind sharing your maintenance routine?

Religiously made sure I had my oil changed every 1600-1900 miles, made sure all my fluid lines were no dry rotting. I never started moving after a cold start for at least 3 mins. Lastly, the big one!! Always drive it in sport or sport plus!

Are you saying there is no self learning in sport or sport plus?

I think he's saying drive the shit out of the car so it's always ready and yes it self learns.

Ok now we have to talk.. I'm about to call raza cause I actually discussed this with him but it seemed as if running E would've been a problem but I guess things changed lol.

I can't wait to see the E numbers they should be crazy! 💪🏽

How did it do on E85? How is the engine and transmission holding up? I called RK and spoke with Mike today. This is very tempting.
