BMW Release Official X5 M Spy Video

That is a good point because BMW hardly needs any marketing. Their cars have always spoken for themselves, M or otherwise.

Couldn't agree more :(

true

kudos

I remember that quote too, guess competition got to tough.

Right ,or a Camaro and an Infinity FX , this car is pointless, people get so excited by an suv....Yawn

LOL... X5 M over a Cayenne Turbo S ??? lololololo...are you nuts?

interesting how you can guess someone's age from about ten words they write on the internet. you must have quite the library, sir, all those books you must have read merely by looking at the cover! perhaps you should think about this: most people can't just throw 150k at a porsche badge, they will actually test drive each of the competitors first, and if this turns out to be a more enjoyable drive then only a true fool would choose the porsche merely for the badge. and bmw low class? i'm interested to know where you've been for the past few years, bmw and merc are one of the few really even competitors in the luxury levels. i'll give you amg outsold m, but a roughly (i think) 15% difference in sales is hardly enough to categorically determine that amg makes better cars than m. if you were paying over 100k you'd only go for a porsche or a merc? well, fair enough, you're entitled to buy a badge instead of a good car. =)

and that's a problem... why?

Women can't drive.

that is at once utterly sexist and very true. still, most tossers who do 120 on a suburban street can't, either

No, it's not sexist really. I think men just tend to push the limits a bit too much when it comes to driving and they f up. More a matter of experience than skill I'd say. And being a dumba5s ofcourse.

"and top of the range BMW is fairly comparable with best mighty Merc???" aha that's gold, mate! =) the m6 is overrun by the cl or sl with a 65 engine? so a what, 6.0 litre bi-turbo V12 beats a naturally aspirated 5.0 litre V10? wow, i never would have guessed!! and a ferrari enzo will rip a honda accord to bits, mate. try to compare competitors, it makes you appear more knowledgeable. the m6 and sl/cl aren't competitors.. for example, comparing a cl63 against an m6 is also pointless, as the difference in weights makes it an easy mercedes win. i want to know just how wealthy you are to call an M6 cheap; i've never heard it called so before. a car's price is not necessarily directly linked to how good it is either - think nissan GT-R. and just for the record, i happen to know billionaire who drives a bmw x5 4.8is and a holden statesman; and it's not funny and wierd at all - he found two cars he likes and bought them. not all of us need half-million euro cars to make our... anatomy appear larger, sir. calling your neighbour poor shows you are a snobbish fool. if you've ever been in an E46 m3, you'll know they are superb cars, despite being what you call "cheap". and an interesting point on the badge, i could swear a merc A180 carries an identical badge to that of the S65 - it's like a pointy three-armed star in a circle, and i'm damn sure it's identical!! =) am i alone in thinking this guy doesn't know the first thing about modern cars?

He's just an obvious snob that got rich on a lottery or by his wealthy cousins sudden death. Rarely those kind of people have class. Then again, I'm merely guessing.

lucifa - i give you that the CL63 and the M6 aren't natural competitors, but i would say that the M6 and the SL63 are. Yes, the Merc is ?20k more expensive but the on paper stats are very similar and (particularly in the lower engine models) buyers are forced to decide between the SL and the 6-Series as Merc offers no other direct rival. Having said that, I'm a little puzzled by your comment about the weight difference between the M6 and the CL making the CL an easy winner. The CL is heavier, and it won't actually beat the M6 around corners because that isn't part of it's brief as a big 2 door S-Class. But don't let me let you think that for a second i agree with any of the sentiment that swifthead has made because I don't. On my street there are 3 DB9s, a couple of 911s, some Bentleys and an SLR - alongside C-Classes, Golfs and even a Ford Focus ST. A "good" badge or a high price doesn't necessarily mean a good car.

sub39h - sorry that was meant to be clk63, my bad. i'm not actually that fussed about any of this, i just don't like swifthead coming in and saying all of that cr** which he obviously doesn't have any idea about. oh and the sl63 being a competitor - the new one is, but it used to be sl55 and sl65 against the m6, so they never really lined up against eachother btw, respect for your street!!
