g force

Anyone measure the force the 2024 x5 m pulls on straight acceleration ?

It shows G forces in the sports display.

I remember someone at some point posting a comparison graph with different cars to compare; I suspect as you get towards 1+ g you start to lose traction.

Highly depends on the car. X5 is nowhere near 1G. A sport car, like a M3 with proper tire can sure pull well beyond 1G. F1 will do multiple Gs. This is lateral G.

For straight line G, 1g = 9.8m/s/s. 60mph = 26.8m/s. Any car can do 0-60 in 2.7s must be able to pull 1G at some point.

Thanks - not to get off topic but the x5m is quicker than the m3 (not CS ofc). you must be referring to lateral G. I was more talking straight line acceleration 0-60. My x5 m50 does I think 0.6 so I was curious how much more the x5m would be as I have one in production.

Yeah,X5MC is not even close to G80 M3 Comp acceleration numbers
