Unfortunately, it's the Bimmer X6M putting an A$s whooping on an ML63 but still. (heh, Cayenne is in the mix, but it's really not even an issue)

Skip ahead of all the crap buildup to the money shot at 3:07. Listen to that baby whine.

Walks the ML pretty good.

The M and E wars are gonna be epic!!! Can't wait!

The X6M had evotech mods, which I believe aren't that drastic... It didn't just walk the ML63, it pulled a train on it.

The M is definetly fast for sure and even if it wasnt modded it would obviously be closer but the X6M would still win. Nicce video.
