And to say BMW didn't need these trucks is naive. They have been lacking a competitor to the Cayenne Turbo/Turbo S and ML63. It was an appropriate move. If they hadn't I guarantee I wouldn't be buying a Bimmer now.

+1. And I would't be surprised if the X6M is very close to the same time, if not better than the current M3 around a track with the extra HP and torque. I actually had my X6 50i at a track event my dealer hosted a week ago and surprised several M3 owners out there, especially a few e46 M3s and 335s that I was just as fast around the track as them. The e92 M3 was definitely quicker than me but not by much and I would love to see it go head to head against the new X6M
