Since I own both vehicles and can attest that my tuned (RaceChip) X3M is an absolute rocket. Especially once it gets moving from say 3000rpm it screams. I can honestly believe 10s for a tuned X3Mc since I am willing to bet mine on a perfect launch with a sticky track and tires would do that. The S58 motor is truly a beast and probably one of the best turbocharged 6 cylinders on the market ever. It just goes to show the engine building skills of BMW. The Ford GT makes 650hp from a 3.5 liter twin turbo V6 and the S58 could easily do that with the right tune. A new M3 CS or M4 CS or GTS would be awfully close to that number with an engine much smaller than the Ford. Also the weight comes into play as the X3M for an SUV is not that heavy vs 5000+lb SUVs like the X5M etc.
