You were spot on! Very nice! I believed you before Eni came in

Just awesome. The X6 with V10 ///M version. This will be the real deal. The SUV that kills ALL other SUVs

Nope, it isn't an SUV. It's an SAC (according to BMW).

BMW X5 M Spotted Again

X plus V = M





We have been aware of a BMW X5 M prototype since it was innitially spotted in the Death Valley in July but news has been sporadic if not completely absent. Multiple rumours about the engines have been surfacing like a twin-turbo V8 (which seems to be finding its way to the next BMW M5). But it is still a safer bet that the V12 engine from BMW's 760i delivering 438 bhp will be powering the X5 M, which would still blow the 272 bhp 3.0 liter in-line six and 355 bhp 4.3 liter V8 found in the regular X5 out of the water. Proof is the - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER which sported the 700 bhp 6.0 liter V12 from the 1999 winning LeMans race car.
And how we can be so sure that this is the BMW X5 M and not just another X5. The two sets of twin exhaust tips are a dead give-away and the front bumper has bigger air-intakes ensuring more efficient colling of both brakes and the engine.
BMW X5 M Spotted Again

I'm curious... will there even be an X5 4.8iS replacement? or will demand for iS and M variants be filled by the sportier X6?


This really is a BIG step-up by BMW in recent times. They have so many projects in the testing stage. New 7er, X6 still not put into production, F5 LSC, and now the X6-M variant being tested under the guise of the M5 body.

Let's just hope they call it X5 6.0iS and not X5 M!

The 4.4 litre TT V8 will replace the 4.8i X5, and there is a high probability that what we might be looking is the X5 with the TT V8 engine in it.

Probably be a X5 5.0i

Not is it uses the 6.0 V12

Do you mean the Lemans concept V12, or the pictures of what is being tested?
If it is what the pictures are showing, I believe it might be the turbocharged V8- I could be wrong though.
