X5 45e, the title of the post says it is a review of the X5M. It easily could have said
Carwow - Will any SUV pass my 7 USA challenges?
Absolutely, that is my point. It is not a real car review. He could even have done it on a horse.

But taking a big SUV with a big engine (in Europe, mid size in the US) to do the job might be part of the joke?

These engines are rare here in Europe. The taxes are huge. In some countries the tax is more than the price of the car. So only few people buy them. Maybe car loving Europeans like me envy you a bit for still being able to drive around in big V8's? If taxes were not so extremely high I would have bought a 50i and not a 45e.

I just his way of making a review and a typical condescending British humor.
I thought it was funny, esp. the terrible imitation of a cowboy accent.

If we wanted to make a "typically British" equivalent it would be a video that is much longer than eight minutes. That's because item one on the list would be, "Wait for teeth to rot."
