Haha, du you mean me or the X5 "M"?

Put the TT6 in your MINI.

you

It's like this, I understand the attraction of a little car with a good power to weight ratio. Lotus elise like cars are good good fun, I can imagine. Handling is superb, cornering as flat as can be.

BUT there can also be a lot of fun in going on the highway ( no Corners you know, and like in Belgium, it's ALL highway ) and entering the highway as fast as possible, or just if you're already on it, just pushing your foot down for a moment. Call it macho, I don't care, its gooooood fun. You need a car like this for that kinda fun.

I'm not saying BMW should go all MB on their cars and just put big ass engine's in every single model. But let's be honest, the X5 never will be the elise-like handler, you'll never reach those people. So why try it, and just build a bahnstormer that's very good in his own way.

I guess that to reach these numbers and remain "konkurrenz los in seiner kategorie" (as said in the video) it will need around 550hp. (If not more)

You're so right

but... X5M... why not It's always better to have 1 more >500HP BMW wich can save your life because of its proportions and weight

Wide fenders...?

Why regular X5 shifter?

So the X5 M will have the X6-style kneepads for driver and passanger?
For the rest the M interior looks extremly boring and the same as a regular X5, but I suppose that was to be expected....

I hope you are wrong, and this is not the final interior. If it is I shouldn´t be surprised, BMW nowadays takes better care about their standard interiors than the M ones.

The steering wheels, the seats shape are not different enough from the non-M models, take a look to the RS Audis and AMGs Mercs BMW, C´mon!!.

It's pretty identical to the M3: Novillo leather, CF-leather trim, M cluster, M steering wheel. As you say, not that much more to expect. And I don't think the M3's interior is boring.
