The New Twin Turbocharged BMW X6/M and X5/M

[Tekknikal]

BMW's given the M treatment to its new X6 and X5 SUVs. The direct injected twin turbocharged V8 gets a jump from 400hp to 555hp while torque goes from 450-500lbft. The torque band has been widened as well, and now goes from 1,500rpm to 5,650 rpm. But as you know BMW's arent really about engines and are more about the full package- the new X5/6Ms are no exception and receive modified suspensions, electronics, and brakes - which are now 15.6" up front and 15.2" at rear. The job of sticking that power to the road is given to 275/40 tires up front and 315/35 tires at rear.And of course, the outside receives a new M body kit.

Pricing and availability to be announced.

[Tekknikal]

car was officially announced this morning...

some updated specs:
-4.4L V8, 550hp, 21psi max boost
-6spd automatic transmission
-adaptive suspension, steering (i assume it's ratio changes)
-4.5sec 0-60mph

"A further option in the M Manual mode is to activate the Launch Control feature, which enables the driver to accelerate from a standstill with maximum performance. To activate Launch Control, the driver stops the vehicle, moves the gear selector into the M/S position and activates the Sports Power mode, as well as the M Dynamic mode, or respectively, the DSC-Off mode. Then, with the transmission in stage M1, the driver presses down the brake pedal and moves the accelerator to at least 60% throttle, setting Launch Control to standby. Standby status is confirmed by "starter's flag" symbol in the instrument cluster. As soon as the driver releases the brake pedal, the vehicle will accelerate with full power in "genuine racing style." In the process, the M Sports Automatic transmission automatically upshifts at the ideal points, with the fastest possible shifts and optimum wheelspin control. The driver may terminate the Launch Control process at any time by reducing the throttle position."

That red BMW is by far the nicest to me...it reminds me of a straight up EVO rally car that thee using to run the DAKAR in but that one has a turbo deisel but I like how that looks...
