998M is on a distinguished road
I believe the answer is always "it depends". It depends on traction and the track. The X5M with all that torque and all-wheel drive explodes out of corners. Get a track with tight low grip corners and the X5M has a really good chance of beating the M3. Because of the power, it may do well on a track with long straights. The biggest downside I feel for the X5M is it's brakes. There is just no getting around the 5,500 lbs.
