X6 ///M spy pics,info and discussion thread
After witnessing Porsche and AMG rack up thousands of sales with their respective Cayenne and ML models, BMW is now primed to launch its own high-performance version of the X6 SUV. These latest spy shots show the car’s new front cowling, revealing much larger intakes than any previous X6 model plus a slightly revised grille and new side mirrors. While still powered by BMW’s new 4.4L V8 twin-turbo engine, output is expected to be higher than the current 400hp (298kW) and 450lb-ft (600Nm) torque in the xDrive50i. The same powertrain is expected to feature in a similar version of the X5 SUV, which has also been spotted testing in prototype form. Last edited by LeMansX5; 01-25-2009 at 01:13 AM. |

Did our spies stumble across an M version of BMW’s new X6? It definitely seems so, if you look at their photos...
The biggest give-away on this prototype is the quad exhaust and side vents, which could hint to the true identity of this not-so-mild-mannered X6. Furthermore the vehicle appears to have a more aggressive stance than the normal X6, while at the front there are larger air intakes too. So, all of this indicate that a performance version of the X6 is on its way. Rumour has it that it is going to be powered by a tuned version of the 4.4-liter V8 engine, however, it could even get the current M5’s V10 engine. An M-powered X6 will compete with Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo S, Mercedes ML63 AMG and other high-performance crossovers. |

Looks like it's lower than the X6. No way on the V10.

TT V10?

I agree, no way on the V10. They would definately want the torque and economy of the tt in a big heavy truck like that. A typical high-revving NA M-engine would not suit the vehicle. I bet LeMansX5 was talking about a TT V8.
