X6 "M" Testing At BMW PC-Pic's and Vid's

[palbay]

Hey guys the "M" is out testing at the BMW PC Track.It made a few quick runs and then left the track.I'm sorry up front for some of these pic's....I moved my position a little to try and get better front shots,but ended up getting the stupid pole in the shot.I've got to upgrade and get a camcorder...this camera vid is just not good.If you look closely at the pic of the X6 going into the gate,you can see that the rear bumper/fascia looks production ready.They have stuck those quad exhaust into a nice looking rear end piece.Looks like the LED's are going to stay....to replace the fog lamps that are usually in the HUGE front intake vents.The biggest news is the exhaust note of the engine.I know BMW has hinted that the M engines are "juiced" TTV8's.I've heard many TTV8 X6's on the PC Track....this engine sounds nothing like the X6 50i TTV8 exhaust note.This engine has a much higher pitch exhaust note.I will go ahead and say it.....it sounds like a V10 or V12 exhaust note.Now,it could be the TTV8 tuned to sound like a V10/V12.I just don't know.The most damning evidence.....was when the X6 left the track and the driver saw me taking pic's....he punched the gas and the exhaust note was that "popping-crackling" sound that V10's and V12's have at low speed when you punch it.You gearheads know the sound I'm trying to describe ( and probably not to well).It DID NOT have the TTV8 50i "gurgling burbling" note when you punch that engine at low speed.Will be interesting to find out just what engine is hiding in the X6"M".Thanks!
