The new generation 2014 X5 has landed, overnight test drive in exchange for a review

[Redlyne_mr2]

So the 2014 X5 is here. A lot has changed, I could write all day about what's new and different (and better), but I want an unbiased opinion from a fellow beyonder. In exchange for a Sat/Sunday test drive I'd like a short real world review, and a couple of pictures (iphone pics are fine).

All I ask is that it be an active member whom I'm familiar with. I don't need to know you personally but I want an active poster who spends time in the automotive section of this forum to write the review.

An Alberta drivers license is a must obviously.

My pm's fill up fast so please email me or post in this thread.

FOUND SOMEONE TO REVIEW, THANKS FOR THOSE WHO EMAILED

I'd love to help out if I was chosen. I'd do my best to make this review as real world as possible.

In fact, I'm still doing a little bit of light moving here and there too, so it'd be a decent opportunity to give this car a real test.

But if there are any other members out there who would really benefit from driving this car (i.e. planning to buy it, etc.), please go ahead. I just never driven a new BMW before :)

i'd be down, being a top 20 all time automotive post whore on here i think i qualify on that front. could also cross post it in a few different places too

how many KMs is reasonable though? kinda want to go snowboarding this weekend

Which model is it that you are hoping to compare?

We own a 2012 X5 5.0 fully loaded. So if it is near that, could do it? :dunno:

I'd be interested as well. I own a luxury SUV and I've written an automotive article for my companies internal newsletter ;)

Saw the truck in person - Jerome came by with it the other day. Sexy. The new idrive with touchpad built in us cool

Can't wait to drive it on Thursday at the event. That and the 4 series.

And I love that the new iDrive 4.3 and Touch Controller is now in the 2014 3 series and 4 series! It's so easy to use.

Hmmm I'm not necessarily interested in the drive of the vehicle but moreso just all the interior features / tech gadgets if you want a review on that... :D /nerd

You'll have fun Ryan, does anyone else have time and want an invite to the 4 series/X5 ride and drive at COP on Thursday? You'll need to have some time available during the day. If you're considering buying a BMW in the next 90 days you'll also get a voucher ($1000 - $2000 depending on model) to apply towards the purchase.

Let me know guys and I can email you the invite.
