I don't think any official numbers have been posted, however, based on the power, weight, gearing and launch control system it should do mid-high 12's with a 12.6 average.

As for pulling from 65 or 3rd/4th gear runs, my money is on the DCT M3 for the initial jump, however, the X ///M should start to pull away once it gets higher in the rpms as it makes peak power close to redline with a flat trq band. I would put the rolling acceleration closer to that of the M5 as the power/weight will be a closer compairison.

I should have some tests once I start using the X5 ///M to tow my drag car to the track.
