I’ve only ever driven an X5M on a track as part of a BMW event, never on the roads. However apart from an F8x GTS/CS spec car I’ve driven every M car after the E39. I haven’t driven an X5M on the road because I don’t want to and only did at the event because we had to rotate through the cars! Every other M car I’ve driven because I wanted to |

Then you come down to me in the summer and we will do a track day.. see how more laps/how much faster my lap are than yours. Then we can come to conclusion that these are two different vehicles for two different situations. I've done over 11k Miles in mine in 4 months... several times since fall in NYC (family there)... NEVER once have I had a single issue. I welcome many, many snowfalls this year. |

Subjective stuff like interior design, infotainment, suspension feel, looks, etc end up being the real tie breakers. |

Not good enough...
To come back to the video and M5C versus E63S:
The BMW has a 4.4 Liter engine and the MB a 4.0. This is 10 percent more and should give the BMW a clear advantage. Of course one needs to take other factors into consideration ie gearing etc... But the bottom line is that BMW stuck with the same engine as the F10 albeit improved but this is not good enough: it should have much more HP considering the above... a touch disappointing to me. |

But why!!! Why don’t they use launch control in the bmw!!! I don’t understand!! It’s not even in launch control mode! How do they race like that? Only one car is using launch control and it’s not the m5

He just slightly held the brake and put a little throttle against it. I’ve tested that with Dragy. Part throttle launch like that slows the F90 2 to 3 tenths vs LC. A flat foot Launch slows the F90 4 tenths vs LC.

So why doesn’t he put it in S3 and use launch control? It still does the shifting for you.. I don’t understand why he left it in D?!?

Still, the car went 11.1 on a normal surface airfield, not a drag strip. Pretty nice IMO. I’d be surprised if he would have hit 10.7-8 based on your comments...
