Which car seems to be faster in acceleration...

Believe me, the X5M eats the 750i for lunch

now i know what the claims are on both vehicles and i sure aint knocking my X M. and im not in any way, shape or form saying that mine is anything resembling slow. but not using launch control(mines not broke in yet) my 750 felt just as strong. and my thought to start with was simply that 555hp should not have even been comparable in any way to my 750.

My recommendation:
Do the brake in first.
And of course the pure feeling may differ between both cars due to the different weight. The feel of 555 hp or 407 hp is mostly subjective, imho.
