so i'd say probably not.
haven't really tested it
speaking of which, anyone ever try the little timer on the OBC to test 0-60 lol?? being as honest as possible, i cannot get better than 7.1 or 7.2 secs.  and i was hoping to at leats see 6.9 after the exhaust and intake lol |
Actually your wrong. The non valvetronic X5 4.4 0to60 times on BMWs website at the time was 7.5 seconds. In testing they usually hit a couple of tenths below that number. the new valvetronic motor does 0to60 in i believe 6.8 or 6.9 seconds as listed on there website. My personal best was a 6.6. also a 14.9 quarter mile with the same run..
Also BMW acceleration numbers given on there webite are usually very conservative. Often a tenth or 2 higher than what the car is capable of. When The E39 M5 first came out in 2000 i remember they listed it it as 5.0sec to 60mph. All the magazines were averaging 4.8 sec. In 2001 BMW changed the 0to60 time to 4.8sec. Ive always hit 4.8sec except one time with my M5 i did a 4.7.
So actually your time is about right 0to60 in 7.2sec in a pre 04 4.4 X5
