****NWS****2012 JGC SRT8 Benchmark: X5M
If the X5M is in it's cross hairs, this upgrade has it's work cut out for itself...in comparison to it's predecessor. On the upside, i believe i saw the entry level V8 on the road recently and it looked better than i expected. Last edited by LeMansX5; 11-01-2010 at 08:59 PM. |

It should be able to match or squeak by the M/// in a straight line, that's the one thing American V8's are good for. But as far as the handling the road course, good luck there buddies.

Will be cool, and quick, but it's a completely different demographic.
Stands to reason that BMW will up the HP on the X5 & X6///M to > 600bhp based mostly on the Cayenne Turbo/S. BMW might want to consider putting the X's on a diet in any event.

The SRT8 def' has a different demo in general...however, although i still favor an X6 M, when a client tossed me the keys to his SRT8 TT Hennessey stroker... Last edited by chilliwilli; 07-16-2011 at 07:32 AM. Reason: spell-check |

James...My office environment is def' much more 'laxed than most...but perhaps you should add a NWS in the subject line for those in a more conservative environment.

Edit, but it wouldn't let me put in a smiley. I use the thumbwheel, so I scroll so fast sometimes it'd already be too late, plus I never read the titles in between the posts anyways, just the posts themselves.
I agree
