What? 7.5 secs for X5 from 0-100?

Re: [scans] AMS: Mercedes ML 550 vs. BMW X5 4.8i vs. Ranger Rover Sport

Last time AMS tested X5 4.8i, they got these numbers:

0 - 100 km/h 6,8 s
0 - 130 km/h 11,0 s
0 - 140 km/h 12,6 s
0 - 160 km/h 16,9 s

Re: [scans] AMS: Mercedes ML 550 vs. BMW X5 4.8i vs. Ranger Rover Sport

Thats just rubbish that test honestly... the X5 i drove was in a different class in terms of comfort compared to the ML500 i test drove... I dont understand a word of whatever language that is (no offence) but that magazine has no credability with me... and 7.5 seconds.... did they have a moose driving

6.5 is official from BMW, they should only get better than that.

I think, they had car with low mileage - it wasn't driven into and that's the reason for it's bad acceleration! Or the other possibility - it is AMS and the Mercedes C-Class lost against the Mondeo and they must the Mercedes ML win in this test.

Re: [scans] AMS: Mercedes ML 550 vs. BMW X5 4.8i vs. Ranger Rover Sport

AMS doesn't really spend too much time with 0-100 km/h times. It's not such a big deal here amongst the car buying crowd, especially in the top SUV market.
