Stands to reason that BMW will up the HP on the X5 & X6///M to > 600bhp based mostly on the Cayenne Turbo/S.

BMW might want to consider putting the X's on a diet in any event.
The next gen X5 will be much lighter.
The V8 engine in X5 M is very down tuned. It is capable of lot more...we will see the engine in the new M5.
