These are going to be great vehicles for people who want and/or need such things. Period. Maybe not a true "///M" but they'll be Porsche/LR beaters I'm sure. Perhaps some will consider the "M" to mean "MOVE!!!" when one of these beasts comes up the behind of one of the other SAV brands, who knows. And remember, even Lamborghini made one of these things, way way back (I used to call it the Lamoo or something like that).
But BMW has already done one thing to diminish the exclusivity of the X5M...they've added the M-Sport package to an X5 which, except for the front air inlets and exhausts & wheels, looks almost identical to the new M version. Good news for X5 buyers, bad news for the M crowd.
I won't be buying one of these things but I bet they'll do well performance wise once they're released to the media for testing.
