If you're stock and he's tuned, no contest.

Yeah the recent tunes on the bmw TT have picked up a lot!

but I have also been reading a lot of limp mode cases (rod 5-7). The trans is a time bomb and will require a lot of work done to it continuously, even when upgraded. For stock and further amplified when tuned.
Seems the same with the outgoing model (SMG), nightmare for long term reliability/costs.

DCT seems to have a rather expensive downside

The X5M uses a traditional automatic with torque converter.

Sounds like he may be tuned. Do you have any other info on this particular X5M? I know a stock new one (F85) put down 512 awhp on a Dynojet. So just like the E63 S, it is putting out more than the advertised hp (567) in stock form. But the wagon should be significantly lighter so I would think he is definitely tuned.

The wagon is a little bit lighter but not significant...300lbs and change.

If it is the newest one, it weighs in at almost 5,300lbs which is about 500lbs heavier than the wagon.

Damn, I thought I read they were just under 5000lbs. Thanks for the link!
