Seansene 1st Gear April 23, 2002 Share April 23, 2002 Oh yeah! Have you seen the X5 with 19" wheels? Don't suppose they do very much for it's off-road credentials, but what the hey, it looks good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear April 23, 2002 Share April 23, 2002 There are supposed to be 20in ones for the X5 4.6i? The closest thing to a "M" X5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Neutral Newbie April 23, 2002 Author Share April 23, 2002 Wonder what BM will name it, tho' - I think MX5 reeks too much of this dinky little roadster from the other side of the world.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Neutral Newbie April 23, 2002 Author Share April 23, 2002 (edited) Quote What do you think the Porsche Cayenne will sell at? BMW X5 4.4 -- $360,000 Volvo XC 90 - ?? I think 210,00 max Porsche Cayenne- ?? I think should not be more than 350,000 Hey FF, I was wondering - shouldn't the X5/Cayenne be lumped together with the likes of the Rx300, Range Rover and M-class while the xc90 with the allroad ? Find it kinda hard visualising the xc (apologies to TB and any other Volvo fan here - ) taking the x5 head-on...

X5 4.4 and Cayenne should compete together but the RX300, Range Rover ( depends which model ) and M Classs are far from the X54.4 and Cayenne. XC90 is competeing against the M Class and the RX 300 for sure. Turbo Brick-Any comment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie April 23, 2002 Share April 23, 2002 Have to agree the XC90 is on par with the M320 and RX300 unless they can put a V8 inside the XC90 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear April 23, 2002 Share April 23, 2002 In fact its already sold in Australia and its called the X5 4.6i! They couldnt name it with an "M" cos its not performance based enough(not worthy of the badge) and becos of the dinky little roadster which you mentioned from the east!

Renegade Neutral Newbie April 24, 2002 Author Share April 24, 2002 (edited) What about Xm5...nah, too citroen....or X5m or..... But seriously, about the "not too worthy" bit, I wonder what would be deemed worthy then - dumping the a souped up version of the upcoming 5(or was it 6)-litre lump intended for the 7-series ? How powerful would one need a softroader to be before it's deemed to be too much ? Edited April 24, 2002 by Renegade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear April 24, 2002 Share April 24, 2002 Would be cool to have a "M" X5 [angelic] Like an M5 on stilts! M5x? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Neutral Newbie April 25, 2002 Author Share April 25, 2002 I'm sure.....anyway, speaking of eco-unfriendly monsters, saw this Lexus RX470 parked outside my office - have you seen that before ? Took a nice look at it - it's gotta be like the largest SUV in S'pore ! Must make the X5 look like a small - the car next to it looked so small. And vulnerable. It also brought back not-too-fond memories of those silly Ford Excursions I saw carving up the roads State-side.... Wonder how mant times did it take the valet to park the monster so well into the spot.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear April 25, 2002 Share April 25, 2002 Where is your office? Cos there is always one parked outside MY office! Could we be working in the same building?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Neutral Newbie April 26, 2002 Author Share April 26, 2002 (edited) Tanjong Pagar - don't think that Rx (or is it an Lx?) 470 is a regular - yesterday was the 1st time I ever saw parked out there, a spot that occasionally hosts more glamourous vehicles like an Esprit V8 and CL500. Where is YOUR office ? Edited April 26, 2002 by Renegade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear April 26, 2002 Share April 26, 2002 Oic. ok. Me working at the Gateway, there is ALWAYS a black LX470 parked outside. Thot it might be the same place! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Neutral Newbie April 26, 2002 Author Share April 26, 2002 (edited) Office used to be there a while back - Gateway West. Lovely view, relatively poor access to food (compared to where I am now) unless you're willing to walk. Boy, I miss that place.... Anyway, the one I saw was grey.
