cool....whats it like to live with?

Not mine :) Made this thread when there wasn't much info/pics on the car/S58. Just wanted to share this awesome car.

Man! Hard choice between Mecan vs. x3m!! Well play BMW!

LOL I was shopping for a Mecan GTS , selling my X1 M sport when the X3Mc came out. now I have one on order

Its a great car. We ended picking one up (non comp). Will try to post pictures soon. Initial lag is noticeable but not surprising for the size of the X3 at this point. It's fast as hell once its rolling, ill tell you that ;)

I think 0-60 is 3.3 sec, not much lag there!

0-60 is 4 seconds, & it lags significantly. Drive the car. You step on the peddle & nothing happens for about a second. Then the turbo spins & the car moves like a rocket.

I test drove the competition model I also got to drag race it at Thermal Raceway… Maybe they have removed some of the lag with the competition model… Car and driver tested it at 3.3 seconds

Ah. The track is a different story. Im assuming the motor must've spent most of its time in the higher rpm range. In the case of drag racing, I'm again assuming you used the launch control? That would give the turbos a chance to spool up & produce power quicker. Unfortunately I have not tested the L/C yet, as our car does not have enough miles. My perceived lag comes from regular street driving. It doesn't feel like the E53 in that the second you step on the pedal the engine responds. To me, it doesn't feel like the smaller turbo I6 offering from BMW either. It takes a second to acknowledge your request & then the power just starts pouring on exponentially IMHO. The fact that the car is so powerful once it's rolling, may as well be why I perceive it to be so laggy.
