Like the Z3M Coupe or 1-Series, it's built with a whacking great 5.0-litre V8 under the bonnet. The new car, nicknamed Road Runner, is based on the diesel X5 and features a new front spoiler, rear skirt and two-piece side sills. A modified ECU 'performs absolute miracles', according to Hartge.

Even if you do live on a farm and actually need a Range Rover or equivalent, the extra you would pay for this would easily cover the cost of something interesting to drive at the weekends. > This is the new big-mouthed X5 from Hartge, a firm world-renowned for its > subtle tuning programmes for BMWs.

Don't know what the matter with so many posters in this ng Perhaps they all use OE and just can't be bothered to use accepted conventional posting protocol. Ignorance I say!

If BMW had used the money spent developing the X6 elsewhere we might have a proper mid-engined M1 replacement by now. If Audi can build an RS8 I'm sure BMW can do a new M1.
