BMW X7 M60i vs X5 M50d - Petrol vs diesel power Drag Race (Carwow)

Mani59 · 01-23-2024, 05:07 AM

Carwow put petrol power up against diesel power in this drag race between the X7 and X5.

Fairly obvious conclusion even if I have to say that!
However which of the two are more economical to buy and run - mine does a comfortable 30+ mpg cruising at 70 on the motorways.

Extra ballast for the M60i was funny.

Only confirms what owners have been saying for years, it’s an absolute rocket ship for its size. I can’t tell you how many so-called performance cars I have absolutely crushed when launching from 70mph to triple digit speeds on the open highway. All while getting a massage and in silence with no drama. It’s the lack of perception of “stupid” speed that will get you in trouble with this car. ACC is your friend.
