The M badges are exclusive to their performance cars only. They will not go the route of AMG.

But there is a high performance X5 coming, it just won't carry a "M" badge.
You are correct. It will be something different.

What this could be is the twin turbo V8 being tested for suspension rates, since the are using the measuring tool for suspension. The added weight of the twin turbo engine requires re-calibration of the spring rates and dampers.

The twin turbo V8 will replace the current 5.0 in all applications very soon.
