If you mean its your first time at the Nurburgring, I would hire a suzuki swift from Rent4Ring. An X5 is a nightmare to drive at the 'ring due to massive weight transfer...I've been going for 15 years so I would hope I know what I'm doing by now ;-)

@@leechristie yeah it will be my first time at the Ring ever.. Hehehe but super keen to use my own car otherwise just think it kind of defeats the whole purpose. If I drive super cautious and slow?

@@lequnsu4689 All first drives should be cautious and slow :) However, if its wet, do not drive in your X5. When the wet the track has almost zero grip on the dry lines and if you go across these the X5 will easily slide out and wont stop until you hit the barrier. Here's my old M50d in the wet : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKxlqa6ZsLLZhps.html

@@leechristie cheers, really appreciate it! Hopefully the UK and French border is open soon.

An X5M or M comp has a different suspension, dampening and braking system that a normal X5 50d etc.. so if it’s difficult for an M to handle, a non M will have a really tough time.

X5M is petrol, I did have a M50d which was an excellent power plant but v8 twin turbo next level:)

The car comes with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s as standard. Note that just one lap (and I was not pushing it hard at all) saw the temperatures get to 80 degrees C. This car would not be capable of multiple back to back laps without destroying the tyres.

yeah its a sports camera (garmin virb) and the sync between video and gps position is terrible.
