Good sleuthing, 00Palbay! That's a nice throaty V8 sound, considering it has to make its way through a turbo.
"Damn!" That would have been your kid, right? ![]() |

V8 X6
I appreciate the kind words.Sometimes its better to be lucky than good! I never would have thought the engineers would be out on a Sunday afternoon.Makes me believe they are trying to hurry up and get the bugs worked out of that TTV8.Not only for the X6 but any of the other models it might end up in.Thanks. PalBay

The exhaust note sounded so mean! I wish my M3 sounded as deep as that.

The important thing is not just the raw numbers, but the fact that that 450 lb-ft of torque is available from 1,700 rpm on. My X5 has 400 HP -- it is a 4.4i with supercharger -- and it probably has similar torque to the TTV8, but I don't get that torque until way up in the rev range. At sea level, my X5 turns 5.9 second 0-60 times (according to ESS, the supercharger people -- I haven't measured it), but the X6 is rated at 5.3 seconds by BMW. I live 4,000 feet above sea level, so in practice a turbocharged engine will produce quite a lot more power than a supercharged one. And I expect it will get at least 5 mpg better gas mileage.
AND it sure sounds good! |
