the x6 probably had a 3 litre dieselnwith a eight speed box, and of course they are much lighter. ... - .- -.

One of those moments you wish you had one of the Supercharged cars, 4.2 or 5.0 Discovery 4 HSE

about a year ago, an X6 and I booted it off a roundabout up north ... the X6 won, but not by much. Puts a smile on my face when you hit 4th on full throttle, the 4.4 bmw petrol has a real growl V8 or else ... |

I can confirm the 4.4 TDV8 has the better of the X6, but it's still close! On the straight the FF is faster, around bends (roundabouts) the X6 wins. I tested this on the A43 between the M40 and M1. Current MY2020

Funny that I had a bit of chase with a q7 tdi I thought I would waste it but not at all againts the 4.4 v8 petrol. Was on sports and it was just getting the edge.

So Gaz, if you want a fast car, get the TDV8 not the 4.4 petrol! |

That explains why a tdv8 is much more expensive compared to the 4.4 petrol |

Given the OP's first three letters of their forum monicker that may perhaps describe his eating habits then maybe a more svelte driver may have come out better |
