528i 0-60: 6.5
X7 0-60: 5.8

Apparently, tanks are faster than your sedan.

Well, that 528i of his has a 2 liter turbocharged 4 pot, where 100% of the torque comes down around 1,400RPM. Also take into consideration the gearing setup on that F10 528i.

The "tank" is probably faster as it should be, but the 6000 of curb weight drags it down and not to mention is poorer drag coefficient.

Depends on your vantage point, but it seems to me in the real world that 528i would match it or be just as fast in 5-60 and 40-80 sprints.

Now, the real comparison would be a 550i V8 against the "Tank". I am sure the result would tilt favorably in favor of the sedan.

The drag is surprisingly good, believe it’s 0.33 and 0.34 (40; 50i)

The irony in his statement is that others would see his underpowered overweight sedan as a tank as well. His 528i is as useful to him as an X7 would be to it's owner. I'm sure all the other BMW drivers look pretty small from away up there on his high horse.

Leave it to BMW to make the drag coefficient of a brick better than a Concorde.

Where did you get the numbers? Looking for the X5 also to compare.

Saw one in person today. It's gonna be a long while until that grill looks anything less than enormous. Maybe it's competing with the new batch of full size pick-up trucks for big grill bragging rights.
