it would be kinda be interesting to see what an X6 M would be like.

If so, perhaps an M5/M6 V10?

There have been two BMW test cars that have been driving around here a lot lately, one looks to be a new 3 series and the other a Z4.

When I was down there for the Performance driving school, they did tell me that I might see a "hotted" up version of the X6 that supposedly has a lot more curves and power than the 3.5 or 5.0 being tested by the factory. That might have been it...

driving past a BMW Plant, and wondering which type of spy car you saw on the road...

I CANNOT believe they are going through with an M edition for this class in today's market. isnt the current X6 push 80k??

You have the big three SCRAMBLING. they project bankrupcy in mid january. and now you have BMW taking overpriced, useless vehicles that are 80k and further developing it to sell for, what? 100k? the more and more i think about things like this, the less i think a bailout package for the big three is justified. its just buying time. america does not belong in the automotive industry. sorry for the misplaced rant.

^I think BMW intends to place the X6 "M" against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo which has been a hot seller despite the 98k base price.
