CAR and DRIVER TESTS X7 50i
This month's Car and Driver gives a pretty favorable review of the X7. They clocked a 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds! Plus they got 3 mpg higher than the rated mpg.

4.6 seconds! Must be the M?
I believe this is the link, https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...v-first-drive/ "But this is America, so a 456-hp twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 provides the muscle in the xDrive50i. Its plateau of 479 pound-feet of torque starts way down at 1500 rpm and extends all the way to 4750. We expect the sprint to 60 mph to take a short 4.6 seconds when the X7 is equipped with the V-8 and a still-respectable 5.5 seconds with the six-cylinder.

I have attached a screenshot of the article.
The test vehicle is limited to 130mph due to all season tires. Also, not sure if it has DHP. Enjoy.

I confirmed with a technician from DME Tuning last night. The N63T3 engine in 50i/M50i generates a lot more than BMW's 455/480 number. More like 539/589, according to Diana. |

BMW power numbers are typically higher than advertised. Hence the reason they usually outperform the acceleration times in real world vs BMW marketing brochure.
