x5 M power
 

when BMW will show us the M power version»?

The "M" or Motorsport version should be announced around April 2009 w/ cars available late 2009 or early 2010 as a 2010 Model.Thanks! PalBay

with the release of the X6
i don't think they will

X5 "M" is coming as well as X6 "M".Both have been confirmed by the Head of the Motorsports Division of BMW AG. Thanks! PalBay

wow i feel dumb
oh well

I can't wait for it!

Palbay ! Do u know the Hp of those 2 monsters ? Arround 500 to 550 ? maybe!

thanx a lot.

No reason to feel dumb:D We all learn something new everyday:thumbup: Thanks! PalBay

I'm trying to source some of my contacts and find out.The even bet is they will both be pumped up TTV8's.To compete w/ the competition they both need to be bumping 500hp.There is some serious questions about the future of "V10/12" power within the "M" brand. The tree huggers and bark eaters are making headway.Not sure these first "M" X's will have V power.Got my fingers crossed though!!!! Thanks! PalBay

From the birdies: 0-60 will be in 4.3 to 4.7 range.

One thing I'm worried about the X5 ///M is that BMW will make its suspension a lot firmer for better handling and coping with higher speed.

IMO, in terms of comfort, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S with its air suspension will outshine the X5 ///M...

Whilst it may have seemed a great idea at the time I find it surprising given the current price of fuel and the economic climate that BMW have bothered to make it. All I can think is that it was 'signed off' in better times and it is now too far on to scrap.

Having spoken to a local BMW Dealer Principal recently here in the UK almost all the X5 models sold recently (a reasonable number) the 3.0sd is the most popular with VERY few 4.8's being ordered. You just have to look at all the unsold M3's sitting about to see that the bottom has fallen out of both the M-sport and SUV market here in the UK.

Perhaps there is a market for it but I can't see a huge take-up, especially not for at least the next 6 months.

A different story in the Middle East where you can shove a stick into the sand and strike oil... ;)

Don't forget your toes too...:D
