E70 0-100km Performance

0-100km, 6.5s is a lie!
it's more like 7.7s/8s =/
now that's disappointing!

i wouldn't care less about this on an suv. this is an suv/family/soccermom/mover vehicle, not a race car. a lot of people really do care about this kinda stuff. but its pointless. would you ever want to line up next to an souped up civic and race? man, i tell you those civic are crazy fast once they are properly modded. but if you take your m3 to the heat, thats when these number count. just forge about it. you never race anyone from 0-60 mph in this suv. thats just my opinion.

I know what you mean believe me, but it's just pathatic to see a range rover beat an E70, plus, if BMW declared that the 4.8 can do 0-100 in just 6.5 secs then it JUST should! =/

i dont know

whats wrong with your x5... i raced my brother with his range

vogue supercharged and my friends rr sport supercharge and the x5 was

in front for about 2 car lengths ... maybe you didnt know how to start it ,

try evryway and see how you can race with a better start ,, and i tired 0-100 km 3 times only but the best i took out of the x5 was 6.9 and the

best i could in a range rover was 8.somthng .... next time im trying with a

4.8is too see the difference ... if you couldnt do better than 8 sec i think ther is something wrong with your car ... plus the more you drive it the better car perfomance u will have ...

ill check whats the best way ,

but when i raced , the gear i left it in sport , kept my left foot on the brake and the right foot on full throttle, kept the rpm at the highest.. and let go off the brake , it will have a good start ... i also hear that they have an exhaust system that really helps the car ... ill check on that

lol .. you sound desperate... btw i didnt telll you at first when i got the car my

friend with the range used to make fun off the x5`s performance ... and i

was just like you ... the best way is to try all the things you can e.g.

sport mode , manually change gears , keep the rpm high , or maybe just

hit the throttle without braking , try evrything but be carefull ... i only

tried it about three times ... but 0-100km in 6.4 seems impossible

this video seems to show differently.. sorry, maybe you need to have your vehicle checked.

Alslaam Alaakm,
First of all, Do you have the Sport Button on your X? Also if you have the Sport PKG. What about 3RD ow seat?? How many KM do you have on your car? Is the Gas Tank full? Have you switch off the DTC and A/C?
to get the best out of you X make sure you have over 7000 KM.
If you have the Sport Button make sure to deactived the DTC.
I beat a Cayenne S 2003 model. and as we speed up the distance between me and my friend getting longer...
