The latest rumor mill has the all-purpose twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 pumping out 543 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque ... to make the X5 the most powerful SUV, ever.

They won't label a SAV as a M version, but, come on ... that's an M!

Will that engine fit in the E60?

Yes, but your 550i supercharged can be faster.

Works great, but I just ran over an elderly woman. She had tread marks from all 4 tires, so at least the AWD system is still working properly.

They already offer the MSport version of the X5 in Canada , so logic would suggest they will bring out an ///MX5 , if Porchse can do the turbo .........................
