deeveus 81 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 Was on Wiki as you do on a Friday and came across this: X5 Ripoff Looks bloody similar to an E53, but if you look at the interior pics, the doors are X5 but the dash is Landcruiser Prado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 I'm suprised that BMW and Toyota or any other manufacturer would put up with that. They may be protected under chinas wing. It's pretty bad IMO, the bastards need some originality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is ridiculous, power to weight ratio of 66hp/tonne...... I also like "Oil consumption (90Km/h) 7.8L" Wow... 7.8 litres of oil in one hour!

Docile 64 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) 92 kw @5k rpm... high oil consumption.... is that an engine from the 70's??? i guess torque is alright... Edited March 12, 2010 by Docile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark247 38 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 The exterior is less ugly than the X5's in my opinion, so maybe bmw should copy them in some respects haha. But yes, it's a piece of crap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
