I guess the auto box in X6M works much better at launch
Nothing to be confused about
It's the AWD that makes X6M rocket forward from the line

M5 was already clocked at 4s flat 0-60mph
Different day, different numbers
Dont just compare numbers from different mags, done on different days
If 650i and M5 put together side-by-side, same day, same track, M5 will blow its doors off
