Isn't that cheating?

Here, have a test drive, but you'll be on compacted snow, so you can't really judge anything.

Harris didn't have to accept the offer. I think any journo would have bitten their hand off to have a 'go'. It's still a Mule not a production ready beast

I have just sold my X5 4.8is and bought a M5 touring - what a machine

[rassi]

The idea of the M5 having a larger fuel tank than the standard car is a nice throw back to the E34 - would be great to see 80+ litres.

80 + Litres....The Alpina Bi Turbo had a touring tank of 110 Litres and my E34 M5 has 90 Litres....bloody expensive to fill but an epic drive.

The chance to drive someone elses M5 on snow, with all expenses paid?

"Nah! No thanks. Can't be bothered with that"

My X5 had 90 litres, this M5 says 70 litres and 15 litres reserve but unsure if the 15 litres is included in the 70 litres as once filled says 260miles +/-

The 15 litres reserve is included in the 70 litres.

Agreed he could have been in charge of a "Pram" and could not make any accurate judgements at all.
Wast of time.
