it comes with those badges form the factory so there no 5.0 lump in the boot hiding away

people who believe the bmw badges nowadays don't thankfully work for insurance companies

mercedes do the same thing as well now from time to time.......

 

you just need to go on ebay/autotrader to see many fiesta 1.25 with puma 1.7 convertions, but still a 1.2 on the V5 idiots, just hope one of those dozy bar stewards doesnt crash into me and mine when they dont have insurance

 

Horrible thing, over priced over sized and not as fast as you suggest - had someone trying to keep up with me in one recently from 60 up through the gears was not as quick as he thought (when he couldn't pass a 15 year old Nissan).

I am a fan of quick bmw's but these are generally owned by twats.

 

Is this a joke? Lol



It's a brand new press car from BMW UK. It's a totally standard X5 M 50d, which uses a 3.0-lite triple turbo engine.

No one has swapped an engine or a badge - there's no 5.0-litre anywhere, that's NOT what the badge means! Lol

 

The badges don't really have anything to do with engine size! The 325/525d both use a 3.0 engine and so do the 325/525i petrol models! Both the 335/535i and diesels also use 3.0 engines and the 318/518d models are 2.0 engines! Weren't like the old days where the numbers actually designated engine capacity. 740d is also a 3.0 diesel

 

what a moron!!!

 

 

Sorry pal but 5.3 seconds to 60 for something that size and weight IS fast

He must have been gutted he wasn't in your Nissan

 

I very much doubt it was one of these models as this really was as quick as quick as both I and the figures suggest! Lol
