Here's few pics of the new X6 M taken outside the Spartanburg plant.

No news yet about power but guesses are that the new TT 4.4 l V8 will
be boosted to some 500 hp and 700 Nm.

this will be one heck of a ride. I'd still get a proper M (like an M3)

Whats with the badges covered up as the X6 is already out. And the unmistakable grille.

Are u sure it's not a spy pic from before the X6 was unleashed on the public?

Yeah, it seems strange that they do that, but I think that's the M version because of the twin tailpipes, bigger air intakes, and side vent camo.

Those wheels look like shit on a car like that IMO. The X6 deserves big, beefy wheels.

Didn't even know they were planning on making an M Division X6! Can't call it the MX6 though, as Mazda already own that name! Looks like it's going to be a brute!! Going to be damn quick for the size of the beast!

That is really disappointing. But honestly doesn't surprise. I personally think the direction BMW has been heading in is all wrong.

Look at the video, it makes me laugh. Do they realize they are driving a freaking SUV on a racetrack? "M" stands for motorsports, not really fast soccer mom trucks.


I really wish they would use their knowledge and money to build a lightweight M-car. You know the type of cars that put "M" on the map.

Or BMW could grow some balls and build a R8 competitor, not worthless 5,000+ lbs monstrosities.
