Dinan X5 on the autocross course.

[J.Belknap]

Location: ACU-4 Hovercraft landing pad on Little Creek Amphibious Base. Virginia Beach, VA

A buddy in a stockish Mazda Miata ran the course in 63.8 seconds.
Another friend in a C5 Vette with Z06 suspension ran 63.8's as well.

The X5 wasn't too far behind with a best of 69.676 seconds.

I need to look at is fitting a crank scraper/windage screen (Or an M5 oil pan?) these motors get a temporary tick in the valve train when the oil gets frothy.

Enjoy.

Looks good, but you can't use the M5 pan, due to the M5 being dry sump and the X5 being wet sump. Looks sweet on the track though.
