Not a chance. Our old 4.6is has NOTHING on the M, in any way.

The only circumstance I can think of realistically, where the 4.6is MIGHT feel faster, is if one drove each respective vehicle off a cliff, and you had three of your rather rotund friends with you in the 4.6, and not in the M.

Just at times when the M is in normal mode , hit the M button and youll go back in time and forget you owned the 4.8is..

i like to think of the X5M as a legitimate successor to the E39 M5. Stealth. Tons of torque. Versatile. At least until the F10 M5 rolls in...

Pretty sure Sir Isaac Newton would disagree, but pretty damn funny anyway.

LOL - yeah, I thought of that, too - Newton's law of universal gravitation, or some such thing, but I needed to make a point

Haha I know this is off topic but regarding driving vehicles off cliffs....This idiot who I went to high school with once exclaimed that his cavalier was fitted with a turbocharger and was capable of 160mph to which I responded..the speedo says 120. He says yeah well it wraps around back up to 40 Getting back to the point I then said maybe if you drive this piece off the gorge lol Your humor brings back quality memories!

you were correct regarding the heavier object of similar size falling faster .
I am a skydiver , I know about this stuff .

W=mg
W = weight ,m=mass , g =gravity (10newtons /kg)

What if your rotund friends balanced out the weight of the engine and the X5 fell flat (upright)? Which would be less aerodynamic and a slower rate of decent. And the X5M with no weight in the back to offset the engine, fell nose first. Which would be more aerodynamic and a faster rate of decent. Then the X5M would again be faster. Even if driven off a cliff.
OK, I am done hijacking this thread.
