The X6 is 5269 lbs (or 2400 kgs). That's heavy! An X6M will weigh as much or more based on M3/M5/M6 versus their base series.
550hp = 9.5 lbs/hp, a little more than an M3 sedan (but better than the M3 Cabrio @ 10 lbs/hp). My guess is a 4.5 0-60 mph but loosing to an M3 by the 1/4 mile.

And there is the link for the weight: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicles/x6/x.../datasheet.html
Also note that you took into account the weight of the "fattest" X6 out there. The I6 petrol version is 2145 kgs in weight.
So that's why i said that BMW could drop the weight for the X6 below 2000kgs even for the V8 but that would mean sacrificing alot of creature comforts...which doesn't make sense.
