So the 3.5i will have the same 0-60 as the outgoing 4.8, which is 6.4 seconds... Not, 4.8 has 350hp@350lb/ft engine, while 3.5i has 300hp@300lb/ft engine... Some one please explain to me how they managed to get the same 0-60 with less powerful engine... Does the new 8-gear tranny have anything to do with that?

I have N54 in my 335, it is a powerful engine, N55 is a bit faster on achieving hp/torque by 0.5 second...

Can't wait to drive it (the 3.5i)...

Probably has to do with the Torque Curve on the 3.5i.

By looking at the fuel consumption for X6 3.5i, I predict the 2011 3.5i will have it in the range of 15-16 / 20-21 mpg.

Where are you getting mpg numbers for the 535gt ?

25mpg for this heavy vehicle - we are getting into the hybrid space...
