I have to laugh when I think back to when the X5 was introduced. I was a BMW owner back then, and there was an article in the Roundel (the BMW Car Club of America magazine) interviewing higher-ups within Bimmer's corporate ranks who sniffed in derision at the very idea of an X5-M. They claimed that the Motorsports division would never lower itself to modifying an SUV (sorry, SAV, in Bimmer parlance) and that the best we would ever see was an "s" variant, which of course came out in the 4.6si and 4.8is.

I wonder if the leadership has changed, or if those German muckety-mucks are now eating their words...

 

you'll never understand people driving diesel pick-up trucks going to the drag strips.
the only place happened in United States.

 

l saw many fat ugly pick-up trucks were racing on the street & highway.

 

BMW X5 M starting at around $85,000 and X6 M starting at $89,000.

It did. Its now ran by accountants. The new guy canceled plans for the M3 CSL and M7 and instead chose to produce these 2 b/c they were cheaper to build and b/c of growing economies in Russia, Middle East etc.

Then the economy imploded.

M now stands for Mass

 

I would rather have a G55 or a ML 63
