E70 0-100km Performance
 

0-100km, 6.5s is a lie!
it's more like 7.7s/8s =/
now that's disappointing! :rolleyes:

i wouldn't care less about this on an suv. this is an suv/family/soccermom/mover vehicle, not a race car. a lot of people really do care about this kinda stuff. but its pointless. would you ever want to line up next to an souped up civic and race? man, i tell you those civic are crazy fast once they are properly modded. but if you take your m3 to the heat, thats when these number count. just forge about it. you never race anyone from 0-60 mph in this suv. thats just my opinion.

I know what you mean believe me, but it's just pathatic to see a range rover beat an E70, plus, if BMW declared that the 4.8 can do 0-100 in just 6.5 secs then it JUST should! =/

i dont know

whats wrong with your x5... i raced my brother with his range

vogue supercharged and my friends rr sport supercharge and the x5 was

in front for about 2 car lengths ... maybe you didnt know how to start it ,

try evryway and see how you can race with a better start ,, and i tired 0-100 km 3 times only but the best i took out of the x5 was 6.9 and the

best i could in a range rover was 8.somthng .... next time im trying with a

4.8is too see the difference ... if you couldnt do better than 8 sec i think ther is something wrong with your car ... plus the more you drive it the better car perfomance u will have ...

ahh alright

well maybe i'm just a bad driver loool
but i got pissed off when the range rover vogue passed me!
ow yeah, i know this might sound dumb but is there a way to actually help the car move fast from 0-100? lol

ill check whats the best way ,

but when i raced , the gear i left it in sport , kept my left foot on the brake and the right foot on full throttle, kept the rpm at the highest.. and let go off the brake , it will have a good start ... i also hear that they have an exhaust system that really helps the car ... ill check on that

thanks and plz get back @ me! =D

lol .. you sound desperate... btw i didnt telll you at first when i got the car my

friend with the range used to make fun off the x5`s performance ... and i

was just like you ... the best way is to try all the things you can e.g.

sport mode , manually change gears , keep the rpm high , or maybe just

hit the throttle without braking , try evrything but be carefull ... i only

tried it about three times ... but 0-100km in 6.4 seems impossible :saad:

this video seems to show differently.. sorry, maybe you need to have your vehicle checked.

Alslaam Alaakm,
First of all, Do you have the Sport Button on your X? Also if you have the Sport PKG. What about 3RD ow seat?? How many KM do you have on your car? Is the Gas Tank full? Have you switch off the DTC and A/C?
to get the best out of you X make sure you have over 7000 KM.
If you have the Sport Button make sure to deactived the DTC.
I beat a Cayenne S 2003 model. and as we speed up the distance between me and my friend getting longer...

none sense.. He started to accelerate in the 7th second (we'll say 7.5), and he hit 100kph right at the 14th.. that is less than 7, and likely close to the 6.5 claimed.

This car has been tested by numerous sources/publications, and none have come to the conclusion some here have.

the video doesn't lie.

scoobydoo, whats wrong with your spacebar? i remember long time ago, my spacebar broke, i had to type like that before i bought the new one. or is it your style? hmmm.

keyboard_mate,will_buy_a_new_one_tomorrow

The X5 4.8 non-sport PKG. will beat the Cayenne S 2003 to 2006 (there is no Cayenne 2007) Cayenne 2008 might beat the X5 have not tried yet.
I have try the Cayenne S vs X5 myself many times with my friend. the Cayenne very close to the back bumper but can not get me. As I said before, the X5 non-sport with 3rd row which make the car havier by 150KG.
150KG might change the performance form 6.5 to 6.6.
To get better performance make sure you have Sport PKG., Push the Sport Button, Big wheels 19+, Deactived DTC, and if you can turn off the A/C. ;)

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 :rolleyes: I agree that BMW may have been a little optimistic with the 0-60 performance stat. :damn:

I don't find it surprising
 

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. :nanana:

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.:rofl:

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!!!

you are right ....
and by the way someone said that 2004 ceyenne s i faster and feels faster .,, im pretty sure you were driving a cayenne turbo because there is no way the s is faster, and it really feels underpowerd , ...

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

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 might put some 15" on mine... !! LOL:rofl:

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

i didnt even hear him mentioning a cayenne

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.

to u all...read the fourth paragraph in this review,, http://www.caranddriver.com/shortroa...mw-x5-48i.html

i have this comparison test between an x5 4.6 and cayenne s look at the numbers in 3min and 10 sec

thanks I think that pretty much settles it. :thumbup:

I am huge BMW fan but the 0-60 in 6.1 never happened, come on

anything is possible

no more is it likely the car is a 7+ second car either.

Thought this might be of interest to you and anyone else who's read/reading this later..

I managed 6.6 in an unscientific test using the speed limiter set to 62mph and when the ding sent off, I stopped my stopwatch.

Try the DS mode on the transmission if you're not doing so now.

C&D managed 6.1 sec. HERE.
