“Behold the Legend of Ol’ McLanden. Not every hero has what it takes to battle the bulls of the bank, beat Roy the Destroyer, and outrace the Rogues of Razorback Ridge. Then again, not every hero is sitting behind the wheel of the largest BMW ever created. Journey with McLanden and the epic X7, as they make every day legendary.”
