Unless we are very much mistaken, that is a BMW X6 prototype featuring some classic M Division styling. It has been well documented that BMW will not badge any of its X-series cars will “M”, so shall we call this the BMW X6 Power Junky Special Edition in the meantime? Ok, so maybe X6 M is easier?
The biggest give-away on this vehicle is the quad exhaust pipes poking out the rear end of the vehicle and that certainly looks like a more aggressive stance hiding beneath the rather useless black clad camoflage. When we head over to the front we find the larger air intakes on the front fascia and we suspect another air outlet is hidden under that camoflaged area we see just above the fenders.
Any way we look at it, we can now confirm a new top-spec version of the X6 is coming and we suspect it is going to be powered by a tuned version of the 4.4-liter V8 engine, the same power unit that the new high-spec X5 is set to receive. There are also rumours of the M5's 507hp V10 engine making its way to the X-series
