So based on the weight numbers from the press release, 4322 LB, its 1,046 lb lighter than a X5M and 1,002 lb lighter than the X6M.

BMW says the X-M's are 0-60 in 4.5 and say this is 4.4
you would think that dropping 1,000 pounds and getting a better transmission would drop more than 0.1 seconds on 0-60 times!

also with fuel consumption, if its really 28.5 mpg imperial (average/combined) that converts to 23.73 US MPG which would be insane for a car this fast with this much power, you are talking Porsche fuel effeciency here! of course US standards usually rate import cars lower than in Europe, so our official numbers might come back around 21 mpg on average (like 18 city/24 highway), still amazing if that is the case
