Bmw X5m Usa / Uk Variants

[gizmo958]

Hi guys

quick question out of curiosity , are the usa and uk models of the x5m the same. reason im asking, they both have same specs , but usa model quotes 0-60 time of 4.0 and uk quotes time of 4.2 seconds to 60 .

you sure the uk time is not 0-62 time?

I'm guessing the UK specs are converted from 0 to 100 kph based on the Euro market.

checked the usa site as well , seems to be so strange how bmw displays there figures .
uk model says 575 hp , usa 567. the uk quotes 0-62 , usa quotes 0-60

so strange

That makes sense because USA uses imperial horsepower and UK goes with metric horsepower.

1 metric HP = 0.986 imperial HP
575 HP (UK) = 575 x 0.986 = 566 HP (US)
