Oh wow thanks for the correction all I read was “Come on BMW! Put that 6.5 V-12 twin-turbo…” and then I just assumed he said X6M. My bad.

Ivan,

I believe that Kabluey was talking about Mercedes Benz putting a 12 in the M – Class line of SUVs.

Why does building a high performance SUV kill the “M” idea?

Nah, BMW had already said they would use a twin turbo V8 for this and the probably the new M5. Beside they had also said that they want to decrease the size of their engines, a V12 would completely go against that, not to mention that a V12 is too much for this car.

Never thought I'd be saying this but I can't wait to see that car with a license plate.

You know if BMW gave you a X6 M to test drive – you'd be all over it. It's that love/hate relationship people have with BMW.

That is a an interesting idea. Since most SUVs never leave the pavement i like the concept of bahn cruisers that have a large dose of utility.

Sad days. The whole M idea just went up in smoke.
