Consider this......as opposed to most other auto manufacturers who routinely exaggerate their 0-100 times and performance stats, Porsche is usually very conservative with its performance stats. Meaning, it's quite possible (most probable, even) that the Cayenne is faster than 6.8 in a 0-100 timed run.

I drove an 04 Cayenne S before my E70 4.8 sport and the BMW sure does feel slower off the line. I have tested my X5 in perfect conditions many times and not once did I hit 60 mph in under 7 seconds. I also timed the video link 5 times and couldn't get any better than 7.1 I agree that BMW may have been a little optimistic with the 0-60 performance stat.

I was inclined to think that all manufacturers put up the best possible stats for the cars (gas milage, 0-100 speed etc,..) becuase that helps to sell the car more! I bet they came up with 6.4 sec. with vehicle barely having any options on the car and on a minimal amount of fuel on board with a 130lb professinal driver who is trained to shift exactly at the torque peak, you know, things of that sort.

By the way, please don't be hurt when other cars pass you, they just have to show off by driving like that when we, the x5 owners, can ride at our own pace and still be respected. Besides, if not getting passed is your thing, should've got an M3 not an x5.

It's not about "getting passed". It's about achieving 0-60 in the amount of time BMW says it should. (give or take .1 or.2) and so far I don't know anyone that has. I do agree with your statement though. BTW, I already have an M car.
