When E70 X5 gets a top-performance version you would be pleasently surprised.
But really - expecting today you will be able to get a sub-6s premium large German SAV for $55k is realy naive.
You will get your well-sub-6s version in a while, but a price will be higher.
May I ask why are you so obsessed with 0-60 figures?
I really do not understand why some people think BMW as "Ultimate Drag-race Machine".
We are about being "Ultimate Driving Machine", and about "Sheer Driving Pleasure", and about "Freude am Fahren". And this goes beyond 0-60 or 1/4 mile drag races. And majority of BMW fans & customers know that. And they appreciate that. And that's why they buy BMW vehicles. Not for 0-60mph or 1/4 mile drag races.
But some (a minority!) are unfortunately just under delusion.
