Long story short, I was looking at the specs for the new BMW X5 SUV's. My friend's dad got one and we were talking about the HP output of the V8. He couldn't remember if it was a 4.4 or 4.8.

Anyways, the v6 version is a 3.0 and it puts out 260 HP. I thought this was very interesting considering the 3.8's in the 99-04 only did 193HP. That's 0.8 more liter's and it's still almost 70HP short.

260 HP in a 3.0... that's some serious numbers IMO. I'm sure there are better V6's out there, but I never pay attention.

 

Also...

DOHC, Inline 6, 10.7:1 compression (seem high??), and tuned to premium octane.

Still, that's a powerful engine for that size.

 

yea...but dont forget its a bmw...ford is cheap...my stupid 3.9 has like 193 at the crank...lol very very very...SLOW

 

yes its BMW but its all in the tune. the Ferrari 360 Modena has a 225 cu in engine and puts out 400 hp. and the 3.8 mustang has a 232 and only puts out 190
it all in the tune of the engine

Yes the v6 is slow, it annoys me especially when people want to race. But of course i never have......

 

...the ferrari is a V8

 

And if that ferrari wasn't a V8, I bet it's blown.

 

Ford is robbing us. I demand more horsepower ..bleh nvm..i gots a job now and income...think i might trade the 6 and get a Cobra =]

 

I'd eat that Ferrari Modena in the quarter mile anyday. I can almost double it's torque output.

 

Inline 6 > v6

more TQ, run better and smoother...

And its a BMW... you pay a **** load of money... thats what you get...
