For the second consecutive year, the readers of the German Autobild publication "Autobild Sportscars" have chosen the BMW X6 M as the 'sportscar of the year' in the SUV category.

The X6M is powered by BMW's already famous twin-turbo twin-scroll V8 engine internally called S63. In the X6M, it offers as much as 555hp. The same engine will find its way in the F10 M5, yet in a further modified version.

Autobild Sportscars is a German car publication and a sub-brand of the weekly Autobild magazine. The 'Sportscars of the Year' awards were held for the 8th time in 2010. More than 68,000 readers participated picking their favourites out of 173 models, divided in 17 vehicle categories. The award ceremony took place during the 'Race Night' at the Essen Motor Show.

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.
