        X5 Limo

        Found this vehicle while searching through the Dupont registry.

        X5 Limo

        I think it's a first for the X5

        Wow, i have a hard time believing that its real. The picture looks a little off. I thought maybe it was edited or something (photoshopped?).

        Looks interesting if its real though. I wonder whats powering it.. The 4.6 litre in the X5 4.6is? Or the standard 4.4 V8?

        So two different sightings in two disparate colours.

        I still think that photo's a little wrong. But geez, I hope it looks better in real life. I wonder who did it anyways? And more to the point, WHY?
