Will be interesting to see which of the new 5ers get xDrive.
BMW claims the M550i with xDrive will "provisionally" do 0-100kph in 4.0 sec.: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicle...rformance.html
Might actually be faster than that, because BMW is pretty careful with their claims.
Wouldn't want to upset the pecking order too much.

So will an M550i with xDrive be able to out-drag a non-xDrive M5?
I think so. Just because of basic physics. But, as we all know, "it's not all just about drag racing" LOL.
