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.

Owning an F95, I can say this is entirely possible. We RE-GYEW-LAR-LEE smoke rwd cars that should destroy us based on weight. It's not even close with some cars and I purposefully toy with them then pull away...just for shits-n-giggles.

Now I did see a Urus the other day and was admittedly intimidated and *probably* wouldn't have tested him/her in a straight line from a red light. However, the operative word is "probably" --- talk to me after a few Hibiki's and I might change my mind --- the next day after I'm sober and have all my faculties.

I have OFFICIALLY given up all high speed tomfoolery though. Baby Malibu can't survive without her Daddy. But for the rest of you idiots brave enough to try stupid sh*t like this: CARRY ON!

The X6M walks the urus if there is no launch control involved. The Urus's launch control really is amazing. There's a good video with X6M vs Urus and this is the exact outcome. With launch, the Urus beats the X6MC by about half car length and without launch control the X6M wins by an ever bigger margin.

Looks like it has lowering springs too so that's not being disclosed as a mod. He could be tuned but who knows.

Is this the same X5M that was shown in a video some time ago going around a track in Europe somewhere?

I doubt that X5 is tuned. Doesn't look it, its doing normal 0-60 and 1/4 miles that many members here have proven are possible. It gets to 60 in 3.5 seconds without any effort or even launch control. The M4 hits 60 in 3.6-3.7 with launch control.
Exactly. But I would be kind of upset if I had any new stock M3/M4 and got whipped by a big tall much heavier stock SUV.
Just doesn't seem right, but it is.

Its been happening since the first X5M. They have always slapped M3/M4's in drag races. More power and rear biased AWD.

I am. I've had seven M3/4s over the last 21 years as well as 5 and 8 year old girls. I hate to miss out on a G80 with AWD, but the X5M with more utility and a beast of a V8 seems to be calling my name.

A will always equal F/M, no matter the V.

You sure? (Now I'm questioning if I'm sure..) the video I saw, from carwow, the Urus lost both drag races and the rolling race while in comfort mode. It won the rolling race in sport setting and I can't recall the brake test.. (BMW has come a long way with its launch control)

If you have ever had the pleasure of experiencing the latest 4.4 L V8 in any BMW variant…you will not question the outcome of this video. I love my G82, but the best engine BMW makes today is their V8, and it is not even close!!

For sure. The current S63 4th gen is probably the final "real" fully mechanical motor.

The next gen will be hybridized like the current Porsche and benz V8's. However, it will probably have 800+ HP lol.

I've seen many videos by different posters where the Urus loses without launch mode. With launch mode it's pretty close, and close enough to justify saving 100k and sticking with the X5MC. Call me crazy, I really don't like the look on the Urus so I probably wouldn't get one even if I could.

This isn't correct. X5M and X6M Comp will do 11.6-11.8 @ 120 MPH based on magazine reviews and an actual drag race on Youtube of a stock X5MC that I watched. The new G82 will not beat the ET but it will have a near identical trap speed as far as I can tell from several sources. There is no way the roll race should be like that unless the X5M is tuned, especially given the aerodynamics. It should be very close from a roll. Maybe I'm wrong but we'll have to get more data on the G8x.
You took a portion of that overall race and used that to determine that I am not correct so let me be more clear… the "dig / quarter mile" races in this segment are correct because once again I've cracked plenty of skulls racing on the streets of Juarez or at the track.

Also… if the guy in the M4 cannot drive then yes he could lose on a roll also. Everything counts the rpm, mile an hour, gear etc…

For example if the X5M was actually in 1st gear and break boost on this roll but the M4 was in 2nd he will get such a significant jump that by the time the other car catches up (cause he will! Power to weight) it'll be too late.

I don't speak on magazine data I only speak on what I have done or witnessed with my own 2.

I think a X5 M50i would ruin the day of a M4C owner on the streets. The old way of thinking…”Its only a SUV” days are gone. In a strait line and even in some twisties a performance SUV will hand a older traditional sport car like a 911 it’s azz. I own many of both enough to know my mind was converted from the idea of dismissing the brute speed and performance of a SUV a few years back when a older X5M absolutely walked away from my 997 CS on the highway. My wife just mashing on the pedal of my last G05 X5 50i M-Sport could pull 4 second draggy 0-60mph launches all day long. The current BMW V8TT is a force and torque monster in whatever platform it sits in.

I couldn't agree more! Yesterday I launched the M50i for the first time and I'm still dizzy from the shock! I have a modified 3000GT Spyder and I've never felt such acceleration before this TTV8 monster.

I sure don't like the looks of the Urus either. So the X5MC is a win, win for me.

Another one here who far prefers the looks of the X5MC over the Urus - and nothing to do with the extra practicality - love the more "traditional" SUV look of the X5 - it's actually one of BMW's best designs at the moment IMO... The fact that it also goes like a sports car just makes it for me.
