C&D finally published their instrumental test of the X5, but they haven't tried the 50i yet.

wow this thing is quick with the 3.0L I - 6 Turbo!

0-60 in 4.9 seconds!

And they got 28 MPG on the highway exceeding the EPA estimate!

So we all know they will out down 4.2-4.3s in the 50i

Interestingly, from 70-0 the brakes stopped at 170 feet. 8 feet shorter than the F35. I did see a couple of posts here that felt the stock brakes were not on par with the F35.

They were also using sh"ty Pirelli Scorpion tires for that test

The photos show the upgraded M-Sport brakes on their car. The text isn’t clear as to whether or or not their test results were with the standard or M brakes.

Good catch. Safe to assume those pictures are of their actual tester and they did mention a $72K MSRP so probably did test the M brakes.

Unless they explicitly state what was used it's hard to say. C&D could've taken pictures of another model they got but didn't test which happens.

Our own member confirmed his 50i M-Sport did 4.3 seconds with 3/4 tank of gas and a not broke-in engine. It’s gonna do better than 4.3 seconds when it is set up for optimum runs. I wouldn’t be shocked if it does under 4 second.

For a single brake test the tire is going to matter more....repeated tests will show the advantage of the larger m brake system. The condition of the track surface can also make a difference. 70-0 in 170ft is good but not spectacular.

C&D's time are more for confirmation since we know he ran it in 4.33s. I think with the larger, wide wheels+tires it'll do it a hair faster. On a prepped drag strip I could see low 4's

The new 520 hp v8 coming mid next year might go quicker than 4 seconds to 60
