I have about the same HP and can get 4.64 so it's legit.

I haven't warmed up to the looks of the F15. Test drove two so far, a diesel and a 35i priced around 70k with no DHP. I don't know, maybe with time I will appreciate it more but for now I am happy to bow out of this one.
There is nothing else that's nicer though, X5 all the way

I agree...the new look has to grow on me but I do like the performance numbers...almost no need to even buy an M...just add the M performance package and M Sport package to the 50i. |

All F15 V8 50i models have the N63tu engine now with 445hp. No need to add anything.

Perhaps 0-60 in about 3.5, and low 12's? |

Yes...we can definitely expect the new M to be around 600hp if the 50i is 445hp which is more than enough...don't get me wrong, I would love to own the M but I just can't justify the cost premium...if I was a single man with no kids then I would most likely be driving the M.

If it comes with the 8 speed which it should, I would like to think it would be my next Bimmer. Used of course. Let someone else take the $40K bath.

Isn't that the only reasonable way to buy?
