As much bc as we want the X3M to annihilate every competitor, it didn't, let's just live with it for what it is.

Considering Jag has 550 hp and 502 torque, with a similar weight to X3M (within 50 lbs I think), it should have won...
Car and Driver breaks it down here, the numbers don't lie, compared to the X3M it makes perfect sense. 0-60 was 4.1 (X3M would have been 3.3 with LC and destroyed it off the line), BUT the rolling start is 4.4 and they tested the X3MC at 4.6 which explains why the SVR won off the line (LC was not used) but the X3MC still catches up in the full 1/4 mile. many have tested the X3MC at under 12 seconds when using LC (including magazines), while the article below shows SVR best time at 12.4.
