Fun to drive around clover leaf interchanges

It becomes my Saturday morning routine to drive around clover leaf interchanges.

It is fun. I drive much faster than posted speed limit (50% - 60% faster).

As long as I hold the steering wheel tight and follow the curve, I feel the car is very stable.

This driving exercise really makes the ultimate driving machine shine.

And you're doing this in a base engine X3?

Yes, 4 cylinders that you refer to as base engine.
I would get more speeding tickets if I drive a 6 cylinders bimmer.

I guess that's one way to shorten tire life by rounding out the outer edges of one's tires...

Even though I enjoy railing cloverleaf sections, in whatever I'm driving, I don't go out on the weekend seeking them for fun. I much prefer a winding road where I get to turn both left and right with weight transitions

Even though the X3 handles well, for what it is, tall & heavy), there are so many better handling vehicles.
