I have cars that are anywhere from 5000+ pounds to under 1000 (unladen). I think every one of the is great for their purpose.
But I think this is a little ridiculous.
I have no doubt it is faster around a race track that any of my vintage race cars, but it is not a competition car and I sure hope buyers of this edition don’t let that badge go to their heads when they are driving around in my town. Personally, I would be ashamed to be the person at BMW who proposed putting that on a utility vehicle that weights over 2.5 tons and seats 7.
I have an X5, and am delighted BMW makes a 7-p SAV that tows a 6000lbs trailer and handles/brakes/accelerates better than my E9. But this is too much and is as shameful as Porsche putting “turbo” on their BEV’s and Lotus making a 2.5 ton SUV.
