sure, like the RS6 with 572 BHP noble and refined my ass

Pun intended?

Oh, well, to me and many with me, this will be a new book of a new genre. Let's just hope for a few more interesting chapter in the old book.

What? It's a fat, heavy, powerful, turbocharged, AWD vehicle with a slushbox... But lighter and lower, so sportier...

Be preapared to admire AMG's spirit and integrity, their uncompromised performance-oriented philosophy, their incredible sportiness...They will be the last true noble factory-preparator... lol

Just kidding...

It's only justice to have some fun at the idea of an X5 M while the F01 is said too fat to be M-worth, and after years of "M-spirit sooo superior to everything else"...

Three new things actually:
1. First M SUV
2. First M AWD
3. First M use of TT chargers.

I have no doubt in my mind that they will succeed. The X6 after all drives like a car with unbelievable grip.

550 BHP shows the site source code. Not so smart developers. Ha...ha...so what is Twin-scroll twin-turbo?

You think?
What about creating marketing?

Using innovative methods (ie. unofficial promotion for official promotion ... so-called "closed loop") ... Don't you think keyword were put there intentionally?


Two turbochargers with twin-scroll layout.

"Twin scroll turbine housing. The TST housing derives its name from the geometry of the exhaust gas inlet into the turbine. Two different-sized scrolls are generally used, a primary and a secondary. Typically, the primary is open for low-speed operation, and both for high-speed use. This creates the ability of the TST to be a small A/R housing at low speeds and a large A/R at higher speeds. TST designs are of merit in that they offer a better combination of low-speed response and high-end power. It would be difficult to configure the unit to control boost by effectively varying A/R. A wastegate is therefore still necessary to control boost pressure. Simplicity of the twin scroll turbine housing is its big selling point." [Source- "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell]

Actually we are focusing on the positive aspects people are discussing regarding the X-M product line up. So that is why when you read the TOPICS forum you will read some anticipative and positive outlook regarding the new X-M products.

Actually the site contains as we near to "easter" the oblivious "Easter Egg" as found in many DVD's nowadays, so keep watching for hidden clues.
People how post positive articles and indeed scoope shots of the cars regarding the X-M product line will be featurered.

Of course everybody is entitiled to their opinion but we will not be posting negative articles such as wrong direction for M Division etc.
As for now as we speak the filming has finished for both cars and now it is to the edit suite. I was not on the X-M shoot as I am about to head stateside for the X1 in the next two weeks .

According to internal there is no "World Premiere" planned for New York but there is for Shanghai.

So why 30 days to countdown? That works out to April 5 or 6th depending on which part of world you are. Shanghai show starts April 20th.

Because the press release (and the promo site) will be issued in a month.

We were featured twice

Thanks
