There's a good chance you look at this vehicle and think "What a nice-looking respectable runabout car" but not "What a hot rod". That is, of course, because you're a reasonable human being. Let's dive a little further as this vehicle is classified as a luxury compact SUV. It has all the essential euro car niceties of fit and finish inside and out, plenty of technology including HiFi Bluetooth audio, Pano roof, heated seats, driving experience control, navigation, PDC, Xenon headlights, and more. That doesn't sound like a hot rod... It's only when you look under the hood that you realize it might be a little bit more than pedestrian. BMW's N55 turbocharged 6 cylinder resides there and attached to it is a ZF 8 speed automatic transmission. The result is a 4200 lbs SUV that 0-60's in the low 5 second range, which is about as quick as a 90s Corvette. Add a couple of upgrades and you've got a vehicle that can rip a high 12 second quarter mile. Give us a shout and we can tell you what we know.
