Exactly!
For the X6 50i, with only an ECU remap they can squeeze another 100bhp. That's 25% increase in power. With full exhaust, one can add almost 40bhp. That's 140 bhp only by some light mods!
The X6/5 M should be making close to 700bhp with similar mods. Heavy mods should take it close to 850bhp.
But +1 with the epic fail for the aero kit.

Don't forget the X6 5.0 with 400hp and the X6M with 550hp are based on the same 4.4l V8. The X6M already gets 150 more HP. Throwing another 150hp may not be as easy. Sure you just turn up the boost, but what about reliability and street driveability? They probably don't want to upgrade turbos, injectors, intercoolers, etc. Although give the tuners some time to work things out and it WILL become available.
