The new X5’s release is scheduled for October 2006, an M-version could be in the pipeline for later on." |
Is what the worldcarfans.com website says? Unfortunately, their website is down right now, so I can't read the article. The engine specs that you've described here matches what was reviewed at the dealers meeting with BMWNA. The V-10 equipped M model was not part of the discussion but the word unofficially is it is indeed on and it will be coming, but further on down the road, probably 1-1.5 years after the initial introduction.
