V12 X5
Strongest competition for BMW's X6 may come from the company's own X5... with a 6.0-litre V12The rumours were doing the rounds at the Frankfurt Motor Show that the upcoming X6 would be BMW's first ever 'M-Power' car with all-wheel drive (more here), but the car in these spy pics may get there first.
The X5 in these pictures snapped by our favourite spy photographers at Carparazzi, is kitted out with larger exhaust pipes and a new front airdam with demonstrably huge air intakes.
Note also that there appears to be a narrow U-shaped slot in the top of the front bumper, which leads us to think -- in the vein of Sesame Street -- that one of these things is not like the other (either the bumper or the bonnet).
Perhaps the bumper is right for the high performance X5 (which we mischievously like to think of as the M-X5), but the bonnet, which doesn't match up with the bumper, is from a standard X5.
