A Mazda (MX6) with a 555hp engine? Wow.
That's what I was thinking.

Yes, somehow I think even the best tuner would have trouble working up a Mazda MX6's engine to 555 bhp/500 ft-lbs.

Dave(pennetta)/Mark(Lomag)/Rich(Brit_in_nj) - Great seeing you guys this morning at the car show. Aside from the red X6 M, they also had an Alpine White one downstairs with all the SUV's. I'm still on the fence on them. I sat inside the drivers side and it just didn't feel like an M to me. It felt more like my X5.

Anyway, great times and good seeing all of you. Mark/Lomag - I can't believe we finally met in person. It was a true pleasure. Looking forward to seeing you on the 25th!

Good seeing you too. I got some video from the show on another post, we see you sneak in and take some pics of the X6 M while the BMW guy is talking.

Thanks for the 411. Maybe BMW can squeeze 600 bhp out of the engine for M5 duty.
If not Dinan will. I did ask the BMWNA guys about BMW performance products like performance software and bolt on stuff and they said that this was new to them, even though they have been providing this for the three to a limited extent, but they wouldlike to provide more performance products.

Carlton,
I didn't realize Mark was Lomag, we need signature hats or something.
