Thanks! PalBay
Another thing to keep in mind is that the exhaust on this M version is somewhat different than the 'regular' TTV8 powered 50i model (e.g. the M style dual exhausts at the rear)!

On another note (no pun intended here ), is it just me or does the M version of the X6 look like it is somewhat lower than the standard X6?

To me it looks like there is less space in the wheel arches above the tires on Palbay's picture with the new style rims.

BTW, I like the looks of those rims... just wonder what size they are and what rubber they used on the M version
