X5 M / X6 M BMW X6 M (Spy pics, Info & Impressions)


The X5 M is the high-performance variant of the X5. In April 2009, the X6 M version was announced, with a 408 kW (547 hp) version of the BMW S63 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. The BMW X5 M and X6 M are the first vehicles from BMW M GmbH to have xDrive all-wheel-drive system and automatic transmissions, and are also crossovers as opposed to passenger cars.
So good looking, and still only the hybrid version. Can't wait for the X6M which is to be more agressive than that :bowdown:
 
I haven't been following this one, but that does look good. The basic X6 is an eye-popper to start with so the M can only be better. Do we know how many horsepowers it is going to have?

Somewhere between 500 and 550 and probably closer to the latter.No word yet...at least that I've heard...on how BMW will differentiate the X6M from the X5M.The X6 is positioned as the higher performance model between the standard X5 and X6.Wonder if that will playout on the X "M"'s.Thanks! PalBay

They will differentiate them the same way as they do with the M5 and M6. Pretty much the same car with a big price gap as well....I really don't see the problem here...
 
If we take a closer look to worldcarfans recent articles about X6M, there is something about power figures that needs to be figured out.

Back in january, they claimed : "The first of these is a V8 engine which uses twin-scroll turbochargers. As expected he doesn't mention power figures but it has been speculated that the X6 M will produce upwards of 400kW / 536hp." (BMW X6 M Teaser Video - worldcarfans).

In fact 400kw is 536 bhp and 544 PS. (cayenne turbo s is 404kw 550 PS)

What will the final numbers be ?
 
I just knew it was an NYC street :-) I just gotta figure out which street it is.

I'll be on the lookout for this baby.

Edit: Article says X6 M was spotted in Brooklyn.
 

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
