Thought this was interesting... if nothing else it'll make the C7 owner in you smile :-) I have no idea how credible the results are, but seeing the BMW disappear is quite enjoyable

Thanks for the link, saw the entire review last night on-line; I really liked it. As to their credibility, they don't really use too much scientific data, just seems to be a couple of average dudes' candid opinions on the cars after a few test drives. On their site it looks like they have done lots of cars, at least to me, their opinions do hold some water.

The comparo below shows the A6 is about 1 sec. faster to the 1/4 miles than the 535i at 100 MPH, so after a 1/2 miles, that distance shown in the video is possible.

The A6 won all their tests. However, if you listen carefully while they are driving the cars, there is more cabin road noise in the A6 than the 535i :( . It just confirms what other reviewers have noticed

Saw this other test they did against older Audi A6's and a M56:

As the video stated, the 535ix is 400 lbs heavier, I guess some of that extra weight on the BMW is sound insulations.
