Either that or I'm just going to have to call it a M5, which it's not. But I hate saying, X5M.

Hey B-Line, As much as I'd like to have one (and yes, I'll admit I'm envious), there shouldn't have been a X5M in the first place -- the M should have been reserved for the sporty, agile cars.

It's probably more appropriate to call it the X5is...

Man...i've been waiting to say X5 M since my first X5 in 2003, so it sticks just fine with me...just ecstatic that it's finally here!

Lets see,
Out accelerates the M5
Does the ring in just a few seconds less than the M3

Scares babies and Porsche owners..

I think it earned it's moniker.

I used to think otherwise, but now I agree. You have to compare segment for segment and for SUV's, the X5 M dominates.

Now onto B-Line. I am saying this out of jealousy...you are nuts. I mean, come on. You are already getting a break from having to type X5 xDrive44i bi-turbo. Be happy.
