But they didn't use the same thought process. They changed to AWD, turbochargers, automatic transmissions, and so on. The X5M is an incredible piece of engineering, but it goes off on a real tangent for the M division, breaking many of the previous rules.
As to the non-drilled rotors, it may be to improve thermal performance since this is the heaviest high performance vehicle BMW has built, and those brakes are going to get very hot.
