The M tour was in town today and I was anxious to see the X///Ms in the flesh so I particpated. Very cool program, kudos to BMW for it! Can't wait til these hit the dealerships so I can test drive one; The E92 M3 I got to drive was very impressive so I have no doubt these new generation X's will be no different.

To quote the brand manager's speech:
"If you like naturally aspirated M cars, well... enjoy today"

550+ green HP?


Red needles, Tricolor stitching, DCT paddles, Carbon trim, and ///M logo on gear lever are nice touches to remind you you're in an M car.




Love this combo. Just like my first '99 M3 with Dove Grey interior


No roof racks!




I wonder if Bridgestones will be standard instead of Michelins now?
Also note, 4 piston calipers.




In person it is virtually indistinguishable from Estoril Blue.



I noticed something interesting: These X's have technically not been built yet! Obvioulsly these are the same two showcars that have been spotted around the last few weeks yet they have July 09 production stickers....
(these were taken today, 6-20-09)


Maybe production starts next month? He said these are the fastest accelerating models BMW has produced yet!
