X6 "M" Possibly?

Don't want to stir up any trouble......but take a look at this pic I took last wk.I was culling shots out of my files and looked a little closer at this photo.Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me,does that not look like an "M" emblem on the side of that X6!!!!???? Sure looks like one to me.My sources tell me "M"s are coming for both the X6 and X5.I'll keep a careful watch going forward.Thanks. PalBay

Think I heard it too somewhere, that a M version of the X5 is coming and I guess when thereīs a X5-M, there will be also a X6-M (hopefully).

But I donīt think, that we will ever see the M-badge on the side of the front doors.

I heard the X5 is getting the M5 and M6's 5 Liter V10 with 500HP and the M5/6 are getting boost. If the X6 gets that V10...

The V10 from the M5 wont suit X5 or X6. Its powerful, but hasnt got enough torque to pull those heavy SUV's.

What are you talking about?

X5 3.0si: 3.0 Liter Inline-6, 260 horsepower and 225 LB-FT of Torque
X5 4.8i: 4.8 Liter V-8, 350 horsepower and 350 LB-FT of Torque

M5: 5.0 Liter V-10, 500 horsepower, 383 LB-FT of Torque

The V10 has more torque than any current X5 engine.

It has less peak torque than the 3.0sd X5. But peak torque is not the issue, its the spread and availability of torque and in that regard the M5's V10 engine would be considerably less accelerative than the X50i engined X6.
