Even though the M5's V10 is a world class engine, it would just be too low on torque for a heavy car like an X6. The M5's torque is not that low but it isn't high enough for an X6.
Sure the engine would be great to go full out but, it would be really hard to move in slow traffic with that kind of low torque.

I would rather hope its a tuned up version of the upcoming TT V8, like someone here who rightly pointed it out.
If they make it a TT V10 torque would not be an issue and HP would be 550-650!
