is BMW going to upgrade the X5 6 cylinder engine?

are they going to put that twin turbo 6 into the X? the 230hp 3.0 I6 it has now feels kind of wimpy for a 50k suv.

You're thinking of the old engine. The new 3.0si outputs 265. I imagine they'll want to differentiate between the TT engine in the X6 for a year or two before eventually putting them in the X5.

Doubt it's going to be a 3.5L. They don't HAVE a 3.5....but they do have 3.0TT that is in the 335, 535 and the X6, only makes sense that the X5 will get the 3.0TT and the 4.8 liter engine in the 550 and the X54.8 will be replaced with the 4.4TT from the X6. Only makes sense.

Anyone have any news or confirmation that 2009 X5s will be available with the 3 liter twin turbo 6 cyclinder (instead of the rather wimpy normal 6 cyclinder)? Thanks!

I don't believe BMW will put the turbo 6 in the X5. If they do, they lower the MPG of the vehicle by 10%.

Also, the additional cost of the TT3.0 would make it close to the same price as the V8. So why bother?

Nope. It will be called xDrive35i.
