LeMans I appreciate you posting up these pic's.I had to follow this car to get these pic's.....Yes....I'm a BMW Prototype stalker!!!!! The exhaust note is wicked....very much higher pitched than the TTV8 in the 50i X6.Whoever was driving this car was really doggin it from the stoplights.....I really believe BMW has tuned the exhaust note to sound like a V10.I got some interior shots.....but the guy covered up the steering wheel and dash before he left the car (a well trained test mule driver) The balance of the interior looked standard X5.Thanks very much!!! PalBay

I'm not digging those rims. Usually you want it exposed when you have some nice red calipers and cross drilled rotors to show off. Hope they put some real M style rims on this.

What colors do you think the ///M X5 will come in?

With the 4.8is, there was:

Imola Red
Lemans Blue
Titanium Silver
Black

So what do you expect on the horizon?

[LeMansX5]

The ones we have seen so far on X5 ///M test mules.
Imola Red
Silverstone
Estoril blue

Other colors:
Alpine White
Jet Black
Space gray
Jerez or Carbon black is also on cards.

I wish they bring lemans blue back that is my favorite color! Carbon black would looks really awesome too!

So you think they'll have more options than the 4.8is?

I wonder why they only made the "is" in those four colors?

I think I'm going to lock my down in white.

4.8is was not an ///M car. X5 ///M will have ///M related options, features, colors, etc. and lot of new "never seen in an M-car" before features, some due it having xDrive.

Examples?

Maybe "Low Range" 4wd?
ZHP?
"M" Power Button?
