BMW has released its own official teaser video to showcase a prototype model of its new X5 M SUV around the Nürburgring circuit.
The brand had previously ignored the idea of an M variant for the X5 and X6 models; however the current climate for performance SUVs has proved far too alluring.
The new BMW X5 M will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine which should develop more power than the current V10 engines in the M5 and M6 – potentially as high as 373kW and 700Nm.
In addition, the X5 M will also boast trademark M exterior features such as pumped guards, sports bodykit and quad oval exhaust pipes.

haha if BMW had followed its naming convention e.g M3, M5, it would have the MX5 :-P too bad mazda own the MX5 name. this will be one beast of an SUV considering the normal X5 is probably one of the best handling SUV’s out there.
Although it will be tasteless, I think this will probably be one hell of a car. The X5 already handles better than some cheaper hatchbacks and with that engine… It will have a tacky bodykit though and will be footballer central for the first two years and after that it will still have wankers driving it. Shame really. I think I’d prefer a Q7 V12 TDI.
Although i think it’s a ridiculous idea, performance SUV, it is a market that BMW can’t afford to ignore. Porsche has the Cayenne Turbo S, MB has ML63, and audi has that V12 diesel. Although i must say, i really wish they didn’t call this X5 a M car, that dilutes the M brand with a overweight SUV.
A performance SUV, that’s the definition on oxymoron.
hahaha anti spam BMW …………Hell yeah ! I dont get it either! Trying to fill another void just like Toyota do but I guess this has soul!

Call it the MX5
should be good – though the X6 version will be better =].
what about M5-X? or would that make implications of an AWD M5 :S.
maybe just X5M?
M5-xDrive?
X5xDriveM?
xDriveM5?
xM5-Drive?
