Any ideas what this is? The lady driving it called the truck in front of her and had me boxed out...

I hope you don't mind that I rotated and cropped these pics of yours for easier viewing by all...
I think the fin on top, the exhaust tips and lines & curves of the fenders and windows prove that is indeed a disguised X6. That whole rear end where the lights are looks totally fake...

It seems BMW are still testing it, here's more X6 albeit in another climate...

IIRC, there was a small article in Roundel that said they were testing some high performance engine on some X6 test mules where the engine could possibly be used in a performance or M version of the X5.
I like the X6 but I think I'll eventually trade in my wife's MDX for the X5 cause we need the utility of 3 rows of seats. Certainly hope they come out with a performance version.
