Yes, too heavy and big. The X6 50i is just about as fast in a straight line and does it with about 300 lb. ft. of torque less. Think about how big and heavy this thing must be. It reminds me of a Suburban I saw years ago with a boat engine in it.
The M's will smoke the hell out of this thing is straight line acceleration and the curves will be no contest. It is overkill to the max, IMO.
Is that much torque an impressive figure? For sure, but it doesn't translate into much acceleration wise due to the weight of the vehicle. Sub 5.5...no big deal anymore these days.
By the way, try driving 70 on the highways where I live. You would get run over in a matter of minutes.
