X5 ///M spy shots, info and discussion thread

[cue03]

What do you guys think the performance numbers of the x5 ///m is going to be? Do you think they can get it down to a 4.5 sec 0-62 rating? 1/4 in under 13 sec?

Sorry guys here is a start.The best audio is the last 8-10 seconds as the car moves past the camcorder and back toward the PC Building.Be sure and turn up the volume so you can hear over the wind noise.Of course everytime something is out that I want to shoot as a vid...the wind is blowing 900 MPH right in my face.I know BMW is now on record that the X"M"'s will be powered by tweaked TTV8's.The exhaust note still sounds much higher pitch than the TTV8 in the 50i X6.I'll get better w/ my camcorder.Thanks!

hahaha Palbay,

you behind the bushes cracks me up. ...but I got to admit, the X5 forum + motoring sites and all interested people who want to know more about what we may not, do appreciate you capturing all the media you can.

Thanks for the nice comments.........I'm looking into buying a camo suit w/ those white cattails on top of my head ( since I'm surrounded by those things) ......I'll really be in "spy" mode then..... Thanks! Palbay

Here you go.Threw in a closeup on what appears to be 4 or 6 piston front brake calipers on one of the X5M mules.The blue color is an X6, the black color is an X5.The X "M" wheels look identical on the X6 and X5.Thanks! PalBay
