lol make it 551hp to beat the cayenne turbo S lolz

there you go!:thumbup:

I said at at LEAST 450HP. I wouldnt even consider it without at least that much hp. But I think 550hp would be just enough. Although i think the V12 from the 760 I would be awesome in the E70 even though it only has 438 hp. It is so smoth and has torque everywhere. It makes the 7series accelerate so effortlessly. If they massaged the V12 to 500hp and put it into the X5 shit id pay 100k for that thing. I think they should make an M7 to though. with a 7 speed smg and bump up the V12 hp to 550hp. that would be incredible. Shit the V12 is 6.0 liters you telling me thaey cant get at least 500hp out of it relatively easily compared to getting 500hp out of 5liters in the v10

That's a lot of scratch!

As you can see E70 has been pushed up-market . specially the basis one (3.0si).

There is more room for X3 now . the difference between 3.0L X3 & X5 MSRP was $6k - $37k vs. $43k, with new X5 reaching $10k difference ($37k vs $47k).

Also maiking a room for an upcoming top-end X3 featuring N54 bi-turbo engine. :thumbup:

The same is happening with 3er coupe & cabrio - both basis versions pushed a few grands up making space for upcoming 2er cabrio & coupe (coming late Spring & late Fall 2007).

And the top-end X3 featuring the N54 bi-turbo engine will probably cost as much as a base '06 E53 4.4i.:thumbdown What I'd rather see is an E91 N54 bi-turbo powered 330i AWD sports wagon with a M-Technics body kit.

At $80K, I'm buying something other than an E70. I could go over to the dealer right now and buy a CPO '05 4.8is with 7500 miles for $57K.

Ah, yes, it would appear that is the case. I figure I have to write a check for $26K to trade up.
