That being said, I'm confident that both being stock, F10 M5 comp will edge F90 out slightly on the top end in a rolling race due to a less drivetrain drag being purely RWD.

Launch Control is available when the engine is at operating temperature. The engine is at operating temperature after an uninterrupted trip of at least 6 miles/10 km. *Start with launch control* - Press the button. TRACTION is displayed in the instrument cluster and the indicator light for DSC OFF lights up. - Engage selector lever position S. - With the left foot, forcefully press down on the brake. - Press and hold down the accelerator pedal beyond the resistance point at the full throttle position, kick down. A flag symbol is displayed in the instrument cluster. - The starting engine speed adjusts. Within 3 seconds, release the break. Have fun

Weird tho that the RS5 felt SO much faster than the X3M.. figured they'd be comparable under similar conditions. Of course the RS5 is a car so it should spank a small SUV but these are crazy times too. RS6 is coming too .... yum.

Indeed, using hyperbole to get your point across is a well understood device, unfortunately everyone suddenly becomes obtuse when they log on to the internet.

Definitely, it is very responsive. As far as turbo engines go it's excellent

If it lags, I don't feel it. When I hit the gas, its response is instant. As opposed to my M cars where there's a few seconds of "oh shit I'm fucked" while merging from a dig onto a highway.

I do drive on the street but most of my experience comes from the track where the S55 is quite responsive. Not the S65 but still quite good |

Went to a recent M event and dragged X3M, M2 comp, 850i and M4 and the X3M had the most noticeable lag off the line for sure. Very evident. Really hope they get that worked out for the m3/m4...

Hate to echo this, but I went to the M Track Days at COTA and they had the X3M, X4M, M850 and M4 convertible for drag racing. They didn't allow launch control, but they did allow us to brake torque (well, everything but the DCT M4 for obvious reasons).
Low end for the X3M and X4M was notably underwhelming in that company. Great pull (and really great sound) once things were moving, but the trip through the bottom third of the tach seemed leisurely compared to the S55-laden M4 and downright slow against the brutal launches from the M850xi. Other participants had similar experiences when we talked at the end. The X3M/X4M seemed out of place in that event, and nearly universally the least impressive of all the cars driven that day. |

I've said it before, but if there was a HUD option on the M2 I would trade in my M4 Comp for one tomorrow. |
