What a stunning car! 😍👍👌

[@michaelarmstrong5405]

Great Video, and impressive towing and handling, jus one thing in question, how is it that you can tow such a large caravan with a car having a maximum tow ball down weight of 90kg. I assume the caravan specifications are also a draw bar weight of similar or less. Then there is the question, how is this figure affected with damaged roads, doesn't this apply a greater down load on the draw bar ?
Cheers

Sad this is not sold in the U.S. We just get retarded SUV's and pickemup trucks cause we mericans.... Seriously though BMW, give us the 5 series wagon back and take away the x1... Please.....

[@MrSnookerballs]

the mtplm of this caravan is approx. 1663kg so this put you over your recommended 85% match or do you match caravans to the mro and not the mtplm

[@martingilligan]

They always use vans at their miro not mtplm. Personally I find it misleading for newcomers as they are (mis) lead into thinking their potential tow car choice can tow a bigger and heavier van than in reality it safely can.

NorthWind Hi I tow a Elddis supersirroco with my 2017 Audi A6 2.0tdi avant 190ps manual I can sit with the flow of traffic and overtake safely it seems to have plenty power I had to tow van in really bad winds on one trip but car and van behave very well. Mpg is around 24 which think is good to hope this is of use to you

Is the 520 as good please

[@eyes4cars62]

When are you going to test the new Nissan Navara? In my opinion it’s better than VW Amarok
