A New Chapter of ///M - Diesel ///M
 

Supposedly a new X6 M50d

The blurry badge X6 ///M 50d

WOW! if anything, I light the facelift head and tail lights

Tri-turbo diesel engine to be featured in X6 M50d.

Finally had some time to capture frames of mp4 1080p video in slow motion..Some observations:
Power dome on hood
No side ///M gills
Sports shifter
Rear view mirrors are black
Style 300M wheels?
New LED halo headlights and taillights which are clearly visible ;)
Facelift elements- bumper, etc. on horizontal slat in bumper scoops.

BTW, that is a long badge on trunk.

Just when I thought the X5M was going to be the ultimate tow vehicle for me . . .

Will any of these changes apply to the 2013 X5 M?

Yes, some changes will apply to 2013 X5, when it arrives in August 2012.
X5M and X6M are mostly same in front of A-pillars(fenders are different) and X5M took the X6's front, just like M3 sedan has M3 coupe's front. The current X5M does not have LCI X5 headlights as it will get the LED headlights we see in the X6 video above.

Update: X6 M50d to do 0 to 62mph(100kmph) in 4.9 seconds. 381hp 700+Nm.
Production starts April 2012.
X6 and X6 M LCI press release will be much before that.

An X5 version is also in the line. Not sure yet if it will be current or next generation X5.
