x6m / x5m? outside of styling is there a difference?
I know on paper BMW says they are the same performance wise but is that truly the case? The X6M has different aerodynamics to the X5M so I am curious. Is it strictly a looks thing for most of you X?M buyers? Thanks |

They are both pretty much same. X6 was designed from get-go to have a M badge and M division was involved in the initial design of X6. X5 M on other hand is an afterthought. BMW did not intend to bring the M version of X5 during design stages. It was the chief of Spartanburg plant moved over to be chief of M division, who decided, combined with the fact that R&D will be split on 2 models.
Having said that X6 M should have marginally better overall performance and handling than X5 M. Also the reason why BMW gave the media X6 M as test drive car rather than X5 M. |

X6M weighs marginally less. Same drivetrain.
Dynamically, they will be virtually identical. Nobody can detect a .1 sec to 60mph difference without equipment.
