oh and it has a yellow strip on the mirror.

Guess my criteria is just a little different than other folks, like pop the hood and show me the motor ( ya know , jerry mcguire style).

remember ford use to put after market flaring on pinto's and paint a blue cobra on it and say it was a performance car.

I'm old school , show me the engine or the that you can smoke the tires.
Yep..... the proof is in the pudding.All I know is that my contacts at the plant have said for two or more years there would be "M" models for the X5 and X6.They never vary when they refer to the cars as "Motorsports" versions...which is the proper BMW name for the "M" brand.Whatever engine goes in the X5 "M".....the X6"M" has gotta jump it by 50-100hp to remain "the" performance leader of the "X" brand.It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds!!!! Thanks! PalBay
