Has anyone measured 0-60 times with their m50i?
Wondering if anyone used a a draggy or otherwise captured what this beast will do 0-60mph? I know BMW understates performance and it sounds like the X3MC which is supposedly 4.0 secs is actually 3.3-3.5 seconds from what I have read so if BMW says the X7 m50i is 4.5 secs 0-60 I'm guessing it is 3.8-4.1. Just wondering if anyone actually measured it yet.

BMW states that the X7 50i does it in 5.2 seconds, but Car and Driver reported 4.6 seconds after testing.
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...9-bmw-x7-test/ I would be surprised if it's sub 4 seconds, but I am very curious as well about what the M50i does! |

It still amazes me that such a huge vehicle is even capable of reaching 60 in the stated 4.5 seconds (and even more amazing if it's even quicker).
My former E60 M5 had an identical rating but I would assume that in real life, the X7 will be quicker than my former M5 because it's easier to handle. Getting the perfect acceleration on a RWD-vehicle with an SMG-transmission is probably more challenging than on an AWD-vehicle with a 'clean' automatic-transmission.

I test drove X7 M50i twice before ordering and it felt as fast as my 2011 X5M. Never properly measured, but I suspect it is in the low 4.1 - 4.3 seconds range. Motortrend claims my X5M would do 4.1

I'm REALLY hoping that the m50i performance is as understated as every other recent BMW seems to be. I really want to see a 3.9 secs 0-60! I'd be happy with a 4.1 though

I would not be surprised to see these in the 3s with just Racechip added. My M5 with Racechip was in the high 2s and I just added Racechip to X7 and it is very quick (much faster than I was expecting) and doesn’t feel much slower than my M5 stock. I would guess it is very close to 4 flat or high 3s. I bet it is now as fast or slightly faster than the X5 M50i and that is rated at 4.1.
I may have to pick up a draggy because now I am curious myself. |

So the other day, I was screwing around after dropping my kids off at a farm. The road had a slight downward slope to it (Dragy called me out with an invalid ), and I didn't have time to put it in launch control with traffic coming. Long story short, from a complete stop, I did it in 4.6 secs in sport+. Might not be a stretch to think this car can do 4.4-4.3 under the right conditions. I'll do a proper set of tests on a flat road next week.
What is equally impressive is how quickly this car can do 50-100+ with a completely civilized attitude and tranquil cabin experience. Scary fun |

Does your run correct for elevation?
C&D tested 4.1 sec. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...y-maintenance/ |

I am going to do mine after break in. At my elevation, I would bet I can get 3.98 seconds. I am pretty sure I can do a sub 4 second. I got 3.97 seconds out of my 2019 X5 50i M-Sport. I found out I can get faster times NOT using launch control. I will run the fuel tank down to a few gallons and pump up the tire pressure on the X7 to do the runs. I have done a lot of 0-60 testing over the years with a lot of my cars and there is a method to really squeezing a few tenths off.
The X7 M50i feels like a sub 4 second car. Magazine testings are lazy and only do launch control as well as run with full fuel tanks. Tires and wheels also come into play. If I read the C&D long term testing runs correctly, it looks like they did their 0-60mph on winter wheels and tires. BMW sandbags their specs A LOT so even at high elevations on your worst day, you will get factory spec performance times. Last edited by MystroX5; 08-06-2020 at 09:40 AM.. |

FYI, I got my 3.97 run on 20” AS tires on my last X5 50i M-Sport. As mentioned above, the 60mph to 120 is stupid fast. I found that out on my long family trips and a pesky new Mustang GT riding my bumper at 80mph. |

These guys had 4.73 sec for 0-100km/h. It should be 4.5-4.6sec for 0-60mph.

Around 1/2 tank of fuel and a passenger. The vehicle only has a bit over 600 miles. Not sure if the performance changes as they get a few more miles on the clock. The trap speed on the quarter mile is what surprised me the most.

7 and soon to be 8 BMWs now and have patiently waited for the 1,250 mile break-in on all of them. Not bragging at all, just super OCD. My wife's X7 M50i just hit 1,500 miles and forgot to play with launch control before I swapped out her summer tires for winters. Haven't even done a proper WOT. |
