We will have to wait until 2003 to really know for sure. There have been so many inconsistancies with the X it's first year out, five different mags could report five differnt times. My X had a DME upgrade before I took delivery. 2 of my 3 loaner X types blew engines(some help from me). The last loaner I had felt quick...my X I picked up Saturday(finally) does't feel as quick.

Actually, my buddies IS300 feels a lot quicker. And I drove a 330i, and X type (3.0), and a IS 300 in BOTH BMW's ride and drive and Jaguar's and in back to back comparisons, there is now way a 5 speed 3.0 X Type is as fast as a 330i 5 speed. But the X is no slouch...you want real speed, put a bottle of NOS on your car.
