I believe that the same engine and transmission combination is in the new BMW 520i (F10). Might want to check it out (if they have that over there). The driving feel will be totally different, but at least you can get an idea on the power and acceleration.
The same engine and tranny is in the upcoming revised 328 sedan coming out next February. Seems like us Canucks are really the trailblazers here with our x1's.
