Ran the F95 X5MC in the Sim vs F97 X3MC with IND's dyno #s, Nate's 1/4 mile, and onfireX5's Drag data. Ignore the Sim's handling of the 0-60mph range.
As onfireX5 and others have suggested, unless BMW is undercutting the HP and torque numbers on the F95 (as it appears to have done with the F97), seems difficult to envision a situation in which a stock F95 will outperform a similarly loaded stock F97. Again, suspect those purchasing F95/96 are far more interested in the improved cabin appointments and ride quality than whether or not it can outperform the smaller F97/98. Will have to see how the real world numbers pan out.
