Looks like a real M-version of the X5 is on is way...

Spied BMW X5 M Prototype Shows New Evidence

The front seems to have the X6 bumpers we 've already seen a couple of weeks ago on an X5... However this time it seems to have also M type of exhaust . It can of course still be a sporty , but non-M version... at least we have something to talk about again

Re: Possible X5 M version sighted

My first thought was a new X5 IS version. But the exhaust really looks like a M setup. In combination with the X6-style front it looks to me like a X6-M mule in X5-clothes. Just like they did with the first M3 prototypes in sedan form...

Best regards, south

Re: Possible X5 M version sighted

Likely not an M car, but rather the rumored 5.4 engine as a "sport". Last model, there were suggestions that the 4.6is and 4.8is were going to receive an M badge, but they determined that an X5 just wasn't M material. I expect the same here, but look forward, nevertheless, to owning and driving this car.

Re: Possible X5 M version sighted

its the turbocharged V8 being tested, my money on that.

EDIT:
Our photographer also reported a very different engine sound on this prototype, which pointed to the likelihood of a V-10 or twin-turbo V8 stuffed under this prototype’s hood.

Re: Possible X5 M version sighted

Did anybody notice that the outer exhaust tips are shorter than the inner exhaust tips. Isn't that a feature of all M cars?

For comparison an M5 mule:

Besides that does the X5 have a wider track. Too much change for the IS IMHO...

Re: Possible X5 M version sighted

This are first testings of V10 S85 engine used on X6 platform.

.....

They are using E70 body since X6 body still isn't in full production, yet only few X6 testing prototypes are cruising around.


BMW used the same method in 135i case: testing N54 engine, brakes, suspension etc in E81 hatch body.
