I love everything about the GLC63. Gorgeous inside and out with insane power to boot.

Those drag races match my experience with the X4M competition: lot of lag and lack of low-end torque, but good top-end power.
All in all, I found that S58 engine to be not very usable on public roads, to be honest, I was not impressed. On the other hand, I was impressed by the chassis and brakes of the X4MC.

That’s graph is a bit misleading... but wow the GLC is pretty impressive to say the least. Ashamed it doesn’t run like an X3/4M with a tune.

The 5.0L SC V8 in that Jag just sounds awesome, like a roaring cat, very fitting given the badge Shame engines like this will be phased out due to tougher emissions regulations.

But with that biturbo setup and the fact that BMW is usually quite good dealing with turbo lag, I thought that the result would be more spectacular. Maybe the huge weight of the X4M is responsible for that impression. Let's see how the S58 performs in the M3/M4

Totally agree! It's obviously a subjective matter but for me it looks and sounds better than X3/X4 M. I wish MB USA offered the S version here as well for this body stule of the GLC.

Here's a Motortrend comparison that shows just how much the X3M punches over its weight class; https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020...n-test-review/ Quote:

I like Jason Cammisa and as an owner I've never denied lag. I'm more bothered about over the top comments as per the one I bolded. His review is a bit of an outlier though as anyone that's read or watched all the reviews knows that 99% of the criticism regards the ride. He's almost 180 from everyone else as he calls the ride taut while calls out lag. Go figure.

On public roads, I found it difficult to reach the 5k-7k rpm zone without breaking heavily the law. Also, I found the car to be lacking response and power in the 2.5-4k range, so it was kind of frustrating. The same day, I test drove the X6 M50i. I wasn't really expecting anything, as that car is so heavy. I ended up be very impressed by the response and low-end torque of the M50i, despite having only 13hp more than the X4M (officially at least). I guess it all depends what you are used to drive and what are your expectations. Happy for you if you enjoy your car.

Yep, I agree with that - but, also view it in a different way. Sub 4k the car is docile&calm and leads to you driving much more sedately. Above that it is very different. The power delivery just climbs and climbs. But, yes, the speeds when you play in that zone are scarily high! With a manual gearbox, i think this engine would be a nightmare for daily driving. 80% of the performance is in the last 50% of the range In contrast the 335d i had before had heaps of low down shove (no surprise) but when you wanted a bit more fun, it just run out of puff. A great everyday, fast effortless engine. 80% of the performance is in the first 50% of the range |

what do you know about M cars (or other) that I have driven ? that just a plain stupid comment. If you can't bear other's opinions, just don't read forums.

If you are a gas pedal masher trying to carve the big city...you are doing it WRONG! Something that I absolutely love is when I put it in drive, there is no creep. Does not move an inch until I supply the fuel. No better feeling than rolling that pedal to WOT.

I’m sure that V8 helps a bit!

My 2020 X3MC definitely creeps like just about every other car with an auto trans.
