SPY PICS: More pics, M-Power X5

Just to give our readers a break from all the spy pics of upcoming Mercedes-Benz models, we present to you, spy pics of a BMW instead.

The illustrious spy photographers at Carparazzi have tracked down the X5 M-Power before, but these latest pics show a little more detail.

It's now a little clearer how the central air intake below the 'kidneys' will look -- not that far removed from the look of the standard car, as it turns out. Likewise, the larger air intakes in the airdam are more apparent than before.

The blokes at Carparazzi are betting the farm on this new X5 being fitted with a 6.0-litre V12 with an output of around 438bhp, which would exceed 330kW. They're guided in thinking this by the exhausts at the rear.
