take a look at that link....

darn, just when i'm getting ready to think of buying the 2008 4.8, it looks like they are working on a 5.0 for next year.... hmmm, with the lack of new options for 2008, maybe it's worth waiting for.... hmmmm....

I believe that was posted before and Lemans, Said that that was v10 testing for the X6 in an x5 body. At least I think thats what was said

[marcx5]

then why is the exhaust different and the front lower bumper too?

Exhaust is different because it has the 'new V10' ///M engine and the ///M exhaust.

They are using the X5 "is" performance version which has that bumper.

I may or may not be jpr18, who made the comment on that link about it being an X6 test mule. Thanks LM. notice the date...

[marcx5]

it still seems feasible that a 5.0 would be out for 2009... no?? seems like the next logical step after 4.8....

[marwan]

isn't that the supposedly M X5? or is the 5.0 replacing the old 4.8 from the older body style X5?
