When I bought my 650i M couple, the difference between the 6 cyl 640 was only $11,000. Greed is alive & well my friends.

You probably mean the Lincoln Aviator. Don't get me wrong, the Aviator is a nice car, but the base model is pretty bare. And the Lincoln name, while making some pretty good SUVs these days, still doesn't have the brand cachet that BMW does. You also have to take into consideration that the x40i is pretty fast. These days with torquey turbocharged engines and rampant underrating, advertised peak horsepower is fairly meaningless.
The X5 does 0-60 in 5s. That's pretty fast for an SUV. I'll bet you dollars to donuts the Lincoln can't do it any faster and will likely be a couple tenths slower.
