    X5 M - 2000 km...finally the photo you have been waiting for

    Smiley Smiley

    tacho.jpg

    GPS measurement showed exactly 275 kph (172 mph)...not a km more. Smiley

    Drive feel at that speed is very good, the car feels safe, stable and the steering doesn't get to light.

    What is surprising is in fact how fast the X5 M gets to 275 kph, it didn't take very long.

    Don't be surprised that the speedo shows 285, the X5/X6 M speedo seems to show 10-12 kph more than the real speed at top speed. The GPS says the truth: 275 "only".

    172 mph in a truck, listening to dance music. Tell that to the highway patrol officer next time he stops you for going 90 in a 75 mph zone. Smiley  Smiley

    Guilty as charged, RC Smiley

    Low revs for this speed!

    What instant consumption does the OBC show at this speed?

    Yes, indeed...a very low rev figure for that speed and the auto tranny shifted at around 270 kph (speedo) from 5th to 6th gear, so it really gets there very fast.

    Don't know about fuel consumption at that speed but overall fuel consumption during the time after the run-in, I was going pretty fast all the time, was around 22 l / 100 km.

    @Conny997: took the photo with my iPhone, didn't know that the Autobahn would be that empty at that time, so I used the occasion.

    Wow amazed at the revs and comfort at that speed. Well engineered SUV obviously. Glad to see you got to take her to the max.

    indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine..  I happen to like both :)

     Great to see that normal people can achieve this sort of speed on the X5M in the real world, that says a lot about the quality of the car. Most people will never get the car there but its good to now it wasn't just talk from bmw

    My wife actually took this photo...you don't really think I want to drive one-handed at that speed and yes, I know that others do that ?!

    Kids were in the back watching something on TV.
