Pure stock that is massively impressive. My F90M5 was 3.01 with rollout on the same "track". My F85X5M was 3.60 with roll out and RaceChip, Dinan Intake, Akra, etc. Pure stock was 3.95 F85X5M 1/4 mile on the same "track" was 12.2 at 114mph pure stock. 11.85 at 117.x with the mods. The stock X3MC is insane. BMW has a dilemma .....the new X5M is coming this fall....with the M5 awesome V8TT...but 600-620hp will not overcome 510hp and 900lbs weight delta.....unless BMW cuts weight on the X5M....the X3MC will be quicker/faster....not good...If they up the HP on the V8TT...the M5 market will be pissed....not good...real dilemma

The solution will be a published HP no higher than the M5, dyno will show the same underrated numbers as the M5. There is a hierarchy with BMW and other automakers where the cheaper models will not out muscle their more expensive siblings, time will tell whether this trend will remain or change.
