X5 M - Testing Video

http://www.caradvice.com.au/20027/vi...totype-teaser/

Quote:
The brand had previously ignored the idea of an M variant for the X5 and X6 models; however the current climate for performance SUVs has proved far too alluring.

The new BMW X5 M will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine which should develop more power than the current V10 engines in the M5 and M6 - potentially as high as 373kW and 700Nm.

In addition, the X5 M will also boast trademark M exterior features such as pumped guards, sports bodykit and quad oval exhaust pipes.

Looks like its really moving around that track. I still hate big suvs for everyday use since i see it as unnecessary but a M version is the most unnecessary thing ever created.
