Plus there are plenty of videos where stock X5MC beats almost every other SUV on the market, and for those that it doesn't beat the difference is not measured in car lengths.

No one is surprised about the standing start. The roll is surprising because it didn't just win, but won easily, and the quarter mile trap speeds are very similar on both cars. This might be a representative outcome, but it might not be since the we have so far data suggests it should be close from a roll.
Everyone knows the X5M/X6M are beasts. Maybe they are just that much faster even from a roll, but I'm not sure the instrumented data we have seen from the few magazine reviews supports that.
Like I said, I'm not surprised that the X5MC won, but I am surprised at how it walked away.
