Also interesting how they are putting the exhaust tips on the flanks on the rear bumper this time. Good idea to change things up!

Ah man that seems like cost cutting (slightly modded M50i diffusers and pipes). I love the classic clustered quad. I thought it, along with the smaller rear bumper, really improved the look of the F85 over that of the F15.

Will it beat the TrackHawk?

cfm56d7b · 10-22-2018, 09:38 PM

Cannot wait to test drive it. No doubt - this vehicle will sell well.

PARTS@STBMW · 10-22-2018, 10:04 PM

Now this is what I've been waiting for!

Neptune7 · 10-22-2018, 10:21 PM

Will it outrun the M5?

JMon · 10-22-2018, 10:25 PM

Hmm doubtful
Question should be will it outrun an e-torn

I feel you. But then again, what's wrong with the S63? It's a powerhouse with decent fuel economy that can be easily pushed into 700hp territory. What should they replace it with? Another Twin-Turbo V8? Why would they spend the time developing an entire new motor if they haven't reached the limits of the one they already got? I think it's smart to just continually improving what they got, kind of like Porsche does, than trying to start from scratch with each new model.

Only if it comes in at a lighter weight. The next gen Trackhawk will be out close to the time the new X5M comes out, and the new Trackhawk is rumored to have the Redeye engine (790hp) and dropping 500+ lbs. FWIW I LOVE my trackhawk

Big kidneys!

raysspl · 10-23-2018, 08:57 PM

Can't wait to see the final product

car_fan · 10-23-2018, 11:40 PM

I’m surprised more folks have not seen these vehicles testing on this side of the pond. Last Saturday on a quick trip from ATL to Charlotte, I spotted (as posted on the F95 previously) these 2 test vehicles on i85 outside of Spartanburg.

GOLFFRR · 10-24-2018, 11:41 AM

x5M=BEAST I want it already!

ghinshell · 10-25-2018, 05:52 PM

Anyone know what the rim style is?

DS_BMW · 12-07-2018, 08:59 AM

Amazing how flat it stays for a big heavy SUV!

M3 Adjuster · 12-07-2018, 09:24 AM

Pretty sure I saw it eat an Audi and a Mercedes

SoCali E36 · 12-07-2018, 11:49 AM

Man... that son of bitch is so flat in the corners! Damn near no body roll.

M3GymNut · 12-07-2018, 11:59 AM

At 3:05 it was noticeable.

BMW moved to their CLAR platform since the new 7er so all subsequent models are being given the G chassis moniker.

MystroX5 · 12-11-2018, 08:16 AM

Absolutely amazing how flat it is handling corners at that speed. BMW has mastered the handling of a full size SUV. Power is one thing but without controlling that mass, it’s a one trick vehicle. I test drove a Trackhawk extensively before ordering my X5 50 M Sport. BMW is the master.
