Just what BMW needs. A 5,000 lbs plus vehicle that sucks even more gas. What a waste of time.
If they actually put a M-badge on this thing, they will lose many BMW hardcore fans. The "M" badge has heritage. M does stand for motorsports. |

The head of the M division clearly stated in an interview that they WILL be branding an X5 and X6 variant with the M badge...
For all those that are posting that they 'hope' the M division is NOT going to release an M version of the X6 (or X5 for that matter), sorry, it's going to happen if you like it or not. And I am going to be one of those people that is going to be first in line at my dealership to put an order in to replace my X6 xDrive50i with the M version...

Just because I like this car and wouldn't mind the M division to tweak it has absolutely nothing to do with me NOT knowing the history of the the M cars. You assume a LOT! I do know and totally understand the M (Motorsport) philosophy and I do applaud them for trying to stick with it. And I also understand that the X5 or X6 does not fit the M philosophy. But who says that they can't change that? I bet way back when they decided to take the 5 series cars to make it into an M5 there where LOTS of people that said, what the heck, this car (the 5 series) is WAY to heavy to make it a M5... Nowadays, no one questions the M5... In time this will happen with other cars too. And who says that they can't shave off a couple of hundred pounds of the X5 or X6 if they wanted to (e.g. the M3 with a carbon fiber roof to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity)...

When will you get the point! Drive the car and realise that it perform and acts like a sport car... Time to think outside the box... Tell me... Why most a sport car have to be a little toy with no space?

I don't care who I piss off, anyone here who thinks this is a good idea has no clue about //M and just continue posting this nonsense. BTW, get a clue buddy, //M used to stand for a lot more than money.

Now just think of what the M version of the X6 will do once the M division engineers are done tweaking the car ....
