I think it is first 550i xDrive road test.
0-60 mph - 4.5 s

Which is exactly why I ordered the 2012 550i with xDrive. The acceleration with the 4 wheel drive is better than RWD and it has the must have M Sport package, sport suspension and ARS. If it didn't have those features available I would have ordered the F10 550i with RWD. But with the horrendous winter we had last year, I want more traction in snow.
Can't wait to see what the 0 to 60 will be with the Dinan Stage 2 I also ordered. I am guessing low fours. Not quite F10 M5 terrority but in E60 M5 territory.
Now if only BMW would chop 400-500 pounds from the car. In test drive it did not feel as nimble as my E60 550. It sure did feel faster and more luxurious but the light on its feet feeling of my E60 is not there.

0-60 4.0s (Measured using GPS-based tool, online tools based upon track results estimate 3.7s)
Quarter mile 12.5s@112mph (0n street gas & first visit to the track)
I also have Dinan springs, BBS RGR wheels,and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, so the car handles pretty good too. The soon to be installed Dinan exhaust and Stage 3 will create a more visceral experience. BTW, I had no problem beating an E60 M5 at the drag strip.

I can't believe you had a sub 4 second run to 60 in a Dinan Stage 2 550i xDrive M Sport.
I pick mine up on Feb. 29. Car is in the US.
