The engine is going in the new X6 (which everyone here seems to hate) and will undoubtedly find its way into the 755 and the 555. The question is, will it occur in the current e60 5-series or not until the next gen 5-series.
Turbos are the only way to go to get the power without the emissions issues - plus they tend to weigh less than a much larger displacement engine.
I love the crap here about how unreliable BMW products are - Och and UDel you have outdone yourselves (real world reliability does not apply here on CL apparently)
Yes, just like the Lexus products right Mike? Don't tell me people don't buy Lexus products for the "image"........

BTW, everyone here doesn't hate the X6. Everyone on Every Car INTERNET forum outside maybe 7 people, hate the X6.

I believe the 4.8L V8 X5 has a combined fuel economy of 16 and weighs in at 5,335lb.
So it seems to be a bit more efficient (just as you suspected).
(Alas, it seems that the xDrive 50i will go for about $80K when properly loaded up).

Autoweek says the X6 with the new 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 will have a claimed combined fuel economy of 22mpg in the X6 xDrive 50i. The xDrive 50i weighs in at an estimated 4,600lb.
