Has anybody ever cornered an x5 really hard? it didnt roll or come close right? I am just making sure cause i dont wanna crash. I also heard that there is someone that does auto x with there x5. Anyone else heard this?

I had a video of an X-5 getting up on 2 wheels at an auto-x, but I don't have it anymore. The X-5 is a well built SUV, but it's still an SUV. Just make sure you drive it as such.
With the Dynamic Stability Control, I would say that you'll be fine in most sitatuions....

I have cut our X pretty hard...its the 4.4sport...I will say out of all the SUV's I have driven it is the best handling...You have the 4.6 so the tires should be the same as on ours....The 305 wide tires in the back help a bunch it seems...we upgraded rims and a body kit...I think my car virus had worn off on the moms also...Yeah my mom rolls the Steal Grey X5 sport with 20' Hamann PG3s and a Hamann off road kit ... and now she is thinking about AA for the M3...look how much influence i have

So to answer your question...If you drive safely and not like and Idiot you should be fine...Remember you can crash ANY car...

yeah what i am most concerened is the wide rubber it is like 325 or 315 in the back and high preformance summer tires so that could make it roll a lot easier
