Yes, the initial report is pretty sweet - as expected! The X6 is a true M-car as the report stated. I knew BMW M would not dissapoint on the X-M series becuase they had a point to make and hardcore customers to satisfy as well as winning new customers for the brand.

It would be interesting to hear from Sayyaaf when he spots the new X5 & X6 M's in the UAE. The UAE is a Cayenne kingdom.....

Extra work for what? What if they deemed suspension in the base version is good enough? Do you still want to see them put in extra work and change some thing for the sake of it? Or do you know for a fact it is not good enough even before any tests are out? If you do, you should share that with us.

It seems like the suspension was good enough to create a "true" M-car for SUV people. That is why they needn't do anything more, the bar was raised and the X6"M" surpassed it.

The traditional M-cars will be asked to do much more. Because , it will take a lot more to convince the sportscar people.

dont be so defensive over this silly cars.......

Hold your horses and lets wait for Sportauto.
(yeah, Im not going to be nice to BMW about these SUV's)

I am not being defensive, I am just trying to understand why you posted what you did. If you don't have a good reason, that is fine too.

Here is a reason: usually, almost every moving part of a M-car is different compared to those of its mundane relatives. This is the first time that is not true, that makes it less special and those who say "chip it and it will do the same as the M" will be one step closer to being right.

If it wasnt for those 555hp you can just get yourself a X6 drive50 and get the performance engine upgrade (449hp) and take the car to a tuning company and tell them to make the suspension stiffer and 'Voila' you have yourself a mini X6M.

Thats what it feels like when you read that X6M share the same parts as a normal X6.

Ok, that is a reason. But do you really think the BMW will change something that works just to stop some one from saying that? Can you imagine how that conversation goes?

"The suspension in the base version works great, we should just make it stiffer so it doen't roll as much".
"Hmmm, no, we should like change something."
"Really? Why? it works great."
"Well, someone will say it is not special enough."
"Oh, yea, we don't want that".

I like to think that they are not that frivolous and if they decide to change something, there is actually better reason behind it. Now if it doesn't work and I am sure we will hear about it pretty soon once the tests start coming in, it is a different matter.

Don't you be so OFFENSIVE against this car. If you don't like it, don't post here.....People themselves decide what's silly and what's not, and the X6 M is far, far from silly.
