I'm not EnI but I'm sure it's meant to replace the 4.8-liter NA V8 completely so F01/F02 and F10 should at least get it. EnI might know if BMW is going to replace the NA V8 with this engine in the current line-up (550i, 650i, 750i, X5 4.8i).

Yeah, the new V8 TT will be for the 5er, 6er, 7er, X5, X6. Five models that are 100% sure to get them.

I am very happy btw. The car looks incredible. IN-CRE-DI-BLE

Awesome machine. This is the first BM since the Z8 that I've really wanted.

So the new V8 TT will be in the current line up or the new models?

Hint: BMW. N64 (V8 twin-turbo).

That will be tough one between the N64 vs the S65

It can't be.

I can't get this thing if it's that much. A RR Supercharged starts at about 89-92,000 US dollars. I'll catch alot of fire if this (X6) is as much as that, b/c that (RR) has more space, and it is more practical.

It's just can't be right......can it?

A direct conversion is always misleading, you can be rest assured it will be priced probably $3K more than the X5

I knew I should have matriculated to that university in Spain, or just resided in Switzerland. I bet the package also comes with the tinted windows, so it looks almost identical to the actual concept. I am very interested in this now, EnI--

It is manufactured here in the US and you will get it here. The difference for the US market will be the dashboard with dual scale; mph and kph.
Some other little details such as reflector colours and emission related stuff, etc.

I am sure the 2009 X5 will get the new engine, with regards to the current 5 series it is a guess but definitely F10 will get the new engine.
7 series will be the F01.
6 series will receive the same treatment as the 5 series. I think with both the 5er and 6er, the key will be the year they get the 5.5 litre V10 engines in the M5 and M6 respectively. It will be dangerous for them to put this engine in the 5 and 6 without having a potent v10 for the M versions.

Knee support for fast turn?? Damn, BMW aren't kidding anyone, they mean serious business with this car and it seem like it's meant to be driven hard. I love the shooting location, Ice Land, right? Very beautiful scenery.
