By applying that logic I don't see why you would want more than 2 seats in an M car.

M or not, it's still an X5 and one of the biggest selling points of the E70 X5, over the E53 X5, and Porsche was that you could seat 7 people in it. I don't see why that needed to change, and hopefully it didn't.

Given it's now the most powerful BMW available, ever, I'm sure it will be more than $100,000. Not to mention the Cayenne Turbo S with 550 hp, 0-60 in 4.7 sec and top speed 174 mph (look familiar yet) has an MSRP of $124,800.

Exactly! Would be nice if 2nd row is removable.

My guess, it will be close to M5 price and with all options added it will be near $100k.

Front brakes are absolutely huge (395mm), even the rears (385mm) are bigger than anything BMW has ever put on a car (374mm fronts on the M6). Too bad they are not cross drilled or slotted.
I'm with Lemans, couldn't imagine them putting a 3rd row seat into this vehicle.

I noted the brakes in the pictures, and they are very impressive looking. I am actually glad that they didn't drill or slot them, they look far more serious and purposeful without the non-functional dress up package IMO.

top view camera like Infiniti... finally. More and more gadgets meeting today's "standards". Funny they put it in the M to start out. This is one smexy beast... the front vents grew on me much faster than anticipated.

Top view has been available from BMW for some models for years.

Nothing screams more "non-functional dress up package" to me than a car painted head-to-toe in the same color. It's Miami Vice all over again.

So you won't be getting yours with brake calipers painted in the body colour?
