for 50i ownsers: any lag on the X6 50i?
For all you X6 50i owners. Is there a lag? There was all this talk about there being lag before just curious if its there in the final product. Thanks

I have not even been driving that aggressive and have only punched it once so I am guessing once I am broken in I will probably have to stomach around 13 or just under that number in city and lower if I drive aggressively. |

If an X5 or X6 V8 got 20MPG mixed driving, believe me, they would be all over the news.

Sorry, I was referring to the following post I made on another thread (mpg posts are cropping up everywhere!):
"Well, all I can say is I just drove my xDrive50i home from Spartanburg and got an indicated 20.8 mpg on the highway! I haven't done much city driving yet, so I will keep you posted. BTW, my dealer's service rep says the computer is "pretty accurate" even though BMWs overestimate speed up to 100 mph, then underestimate 100+ (so that 100 mph is dead on). Can anybody else verify this? Cheers! Ad" |

I was thinking mixed. I believe the X6 V8 will achieve at least 20MPG HWY, even more after break-in. My neighbor's X5 V8 will get 20 HWY and up to 24 on flat roads. I have almost 3k miles on my 3.5TT, and achieve 22-24 HWY. Not great, but I think awesome considering the type of vehicle it is.

That is truly impressive mpg! They gave me a xdrive35i to drive on the performance center track, and that engine is amazing! I realized I would be perfectly happy with it, especially at the everyday driving levels in normal use...even at "racetrack" level (or as close as I could get) it was also an incredible performer...I had no problem staying with the 650 ahead of me, even managed to keep the M3 from running up my tailpipe! My decision on the TTV8 was solely that I wanted a V8. Believe it or not, I have never owned a V8 powered car! But of course it makes no practcal sense at all, it was just "time". Cheers! -ad |
