E70 0-100km Performance

[y5choi]

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.

You are righ. Also the whees size it's important: with 18" size, for sure you have a better acceleration than a 20 or 21" wheels!!!

Isn't bigger wheels better preformance? I am sure bigger wheels better handling but not sure if it's also better acceleration

it's more like 7.7s/8s =/
now that's disappointing!

Edmunds test reached 0-60 mph (100km = 62 mph) in 7 seconds, not what BMW claims but it could have still not been broken in or could be due to different altitudes / temperature conditions. They also tested a supercharged RR in a different article and had 0-60 of 7.1 seconds. Not too bad considering the X5 has a horsepower disadvantage. I would say if you have to have to quickest SUV around look at the Porsche turbo Cayenne.

I'm pretty sure you're WRONG! I think I know what I bought and drove for three years.

This guy was only using "D" as well - if he had used "DS" then he would've shaved a few tenths off his 0-100 time.
