More F85 X5 M Sighting Ahead of LA Auto Show Debut Next Month

The all new 2015 BMW X5 M (F85) and X6 M (F86) will soon make their simultaneous debuts at the LA Auto Show next month and prototypes are now out in their final pre-production forms.

This X5 M prototype features the accents we've come to expect from BMW M -- M front fascia styling with large air intakes and double-slatted kidney grilles, sportier sideskirts and rear diffuser, blue M brakes, cross drilled rotors, quad exhaust pipes and M style wheels. It appears however, that the F85 X5 M will not carry over the M gills from the current X5 M. The only visible embellishment on the front fenders appear to be air breather vents, which may turn out to be more aggressively styled than the standard X5 vents once the camouflage comes off next month.

The new X5 M and X6 M are expected to weigh in a bit less than the current models, yet they will feature more power by way of their S63B44T2 twin turbo V8 engines. Exact power is not yet known, but it's likely to uprated from the 560hp in the M5/M6.

A recently leaked options list shows that there will be at least two new colors introduced with these new models -- Long Beach Blue and Donington Grey.

Both models will be built at the BMW Spartanburg plant and according to our 2015 model map, production of demo models begin this December, while customer cars begin production in January 2015.

Cannot imagine what this will sound like.
What engine is this going to have anyway, because the S63tu is used on the 13's?

I saw both the x5m and x6m testing around the performance center back in August. They do a lot of testing there. They sounded great. I coundn't get any good pics, but they were heavily camouflaged anyway. One of the instructors told me he drove a prototype and was very impressed.

Nice stance. This will be a good looking car.

I kind of hope it doesnt have regular air breathers. That would be lame.

It looks like a regular X5 M Sport, with the exception of the front bumper and the quad exhaust.

RR released in Paris the fastest version of the Sport model, Porsche updated the engines for Cayenne too so it will be an interesting competition in this class!

Jason, you didn't mention anything about the gearbox. No info or are you unsure about it being a 7 speed dct?
In the other 7 speed dct thread, someone mentioned it will be a conventional 8 speed auto. I have no prob with a slushbox but dct would have been amazing on a suv.

Spotted going on 295 South this morning right before the split in my Volvo. Who was driving the Sakhir Orange M4 with LED headlights?

Wow, awesome spot!!! Did you get a chance to hear the exhaust? It must have been driving up to BMW NA. Never saw a test mule in this area.
