Mind bogglingly fast. Looks like BMW was really gunning to beat Porsche. Plus the X5 looks heaps better than that silly jelly mould Cayenne IMO.

Although the price will be killer around the $200k mark... Ouchhh

Not convinced on the looks of the X6.

Much rather the X5 - lower center of gravity - looks alot tougher imo.

200k? M3 thanks.

There's no way I'd want to cart that much weight around wherever I go. M3 pls.

Very disappointed with the X5M. Even though it's not coming Australia at the moment, I think I'd rather go for the 4.8L V8 in it's current form. The X5M looks like a wannabe with a bolt-on M intake.

The X6M looks much hotter - but no good for me with 4 seats as a replacement for my current X5.

X6M all the way, hubba hubba!!! However, I would like the 5th seat. The X5M looks like it raided the parts bin.
I would like to see it with a TT V10 though..

X6M front looks hot but the back looks a little boring I think, I like the rear from the normal X6

Who reckons the front looks like very much like a fatter version of the 135?
