Is this going to be a sign of things to come where the M Sport versions of the 3 and 5 series for example get slightly more power than the standard trim models? I think it is.

^ For sure. The 35d now has 306 hp. 100% all 35i models will get standard 326 hp, a bit more than the diesel counterpart. And all models with the 50i engine will get 450 hp.

Also, Eni, didn't the car get the new iDrive screen too, like 7er?

But then it would be not only the M-sport versions that got the power increase.

Now when BMW started with Turbo for their M cars , I wouldnt be surprised if M is getting an engine update as well. Like Audi is doing with RS6 (called RS6+).

Is RS6+ on the cards for the current generation Just_me? I know that they did this with the previous generation but wasn't expecting it for this one.

As for M and the turbocharging strategy? Interesting times ahead! Can't wait for M5 but I could care less for an X6 M - now more so than ever with the availability of an M package and power upgrade. This model range, frankly, didn't need a "full-on" M model. Sorry to sound like a stuck record. [Backs down]

I'm not so sure. BMW might decide to differentiate the M Sport models by giving them a bit of extra power.

Here's a thought. Unsuspecting X6 buyers being confused by the naming of the line-up.

BMW X6 M

BMW X6 M Sport


So is the second one a superior version of the first one?

Somebody hasn't thought this through.

Serves BMW right for cashing in on the M brand by naming the sport models 'M' sport.
