End of the horsepower wars? I don't think so. Bring on the next M5! E63 and RS6 you have been warned.

the next SLS has the same 6.3L engine but with a 571hp, so if they fit this engine on the E63 then we'll see what happened.
btw, i hate the front bumper it makes the X6 looks uglier!

Yeah, but the M5 is almost guaranteed to handle better than the Merc or Audi, which makes up for the lack of power with real performance. Case in point - C63 vs M3. But I agree, those bumpers are a huge let down. I'm not seeing any M-sport cues at all. The standard version looks better.
Also, do the paddles mean it's getting the M3's dual-clutch transmission? They couldn't possibly give it a slushbox, or the M5's robotised manual, that would just be painful.

That looks mean... I love it. And as with the base X6, it'll look immensely better in person, too.

The wheels are too small to be in proportion and the nostrils are getting bigger and bigger on BMW these days. and people will buy this ugly piece of **** because it's a BMW.
no matter what, just don't buy it in red

Those wheels and bumpers look ridiculous. I'd take the xDrive 50i over this any day

Must be one hell of a fast car. The X6 50i is already pretty fast from 0-60 and I wonder if this should have a 0-60 time of less than 5 seconds..which should justify the odd yet sleek shape of the car.

It is not bad looking, but I don't see what's so special about this car. They could have made it look more amazing but they chose not to, something like asilver airdam slates, which goes nicely with the black etc. But shame, they always put minimal effort into that department. This black and red just doesn't go, if you add a bit of silver bits, the car will be so much sharper

Such a shame BMW had to slap the M badge on this thing. So what, they are not willing to make a Z4M the perfect car to be M'd, yet they are more than happy to give a huge,ugly,stupid car the best letter in the world :(

Im a BMW lover specially the M series.But why did they Drop the VANOS Technology(not using the Turbo chargers,Intercoolers,Supercharger)like the 3246cc in the M3(E46),the current M3 4.0L the M6 V10 engine.
The VANOS technology made BMW a unique company.know its just like any other AUDI,MERC,VW,LEXUS.....
Im quite disapointed.

@sebfill55,
i do see where you are comng from but,ideally it is phenomenal but realistically, they overthrew mb and then as the leader they have to expand,sometimes it feels like it is not bmw but hell, they have the savoir faire etc... so bring it on
