Ever driven a Cayenne Turbo S or a 05-06 x5 4.8iS? I can understand your concerns as keeping the ///M line all high performance sedans/coupes but in the SUV category there are only few that can truly compete.

on topic: The X5 ///M looks like its going to be great. The Fender line reminds me a lot of my old 4.8iS that I loved so much.
