SPIED + VIDEO: BMW's Next-Gen X5 Caught On Camera Working The Green Hell, HARD!

If you've ever doubted that the BMW X5 has some sporting blood in it, maybe this video will put that notion to rest.

Under developmental testing on the infamous Nurburgring, BMW is testing the all-new X5 pretty damn hard if I do say so myself in this relatively brief video clip.

What's interesting to watch -- when the vehicle doesn't appear to be moving like a strobe light is on -- is the new X5's movement around corners while at speed. While it clearly is taking on some serious force, it doesn't appear to be at the limit of traction.


BMW engineers have been busy testing a prototype for the next generation X5 SUV on the famed Nurburgring in Germany. Luckily for us, our spy photographers were on hand to catch it in this all-access video.

This is the difference between companies that has sportiness in their bloodline and companies that puts out one or two sporty cars, add a "sporty" trim to their line up and pretend they have reinvented their image...

An X5 gets the same treatment as all other cars...

I'm saying exactly what I wrote. If you do not understand it, then thats on you. I said nothing about fire or recalls, I'm saying that SUVs get put through the same exercises as its sedans and GTs and Roadsters. Some companies put out one or two sporty car and try to sell the image of the entire brand as sporty.
