    Well of course he is, he's shifting a 13 speed, and takes the trans out of gear while he splits up!

    13 speed. Any dude who would take the stick out of gear to split up, certainly would do it low range. That he doesn't is proof that it's a 13 not an 18.

    True. Somebody said that it's a dual turbo Cat. That's the only thing that screams like that. That's what I was told.

    This morning I wrote few comments here at this thread.
    I have 2015 Acura MDX and the lease is ending next week. Yesterday I was thinking to lease a GLE or X5 or Lexus 460.. ))) changed my mind today. Went to the Cadillac and leased beautiful XT5 Platinum. Decided no more European cars ! received_10155121831672055.jpeg

    Dont like concept of gle and x6, i am not fan of suv at all but coupe and suv dont go together....normal gle and x5 are somehow ok.

    I have driven e63s on racetrack last week and sprinter awd on quite serious terrain full of mud, 63 is too big for track, van impress me with its abbility
