Two Next Year's BMW Models Made an Internet Appearance

A casual test ride caught BMW X5 M and X6 M of MY2015 off-guard.

Bulky grille and air intakes grown in size distinguish the crossovers from the previous offerings. In a desire to endow the vehicle with a sporty shade the German carmaker added more aerodynamic components, powerful exhaust and very light wheels secured by potent brake power. Rear spoiler of X6 M seems to be more protruding, but it may simply be an effect of filming during the motion.

Powertrain will be divided between the two with twin-turbo 8-cylinder motor with the displacement of 4.4 litres making 546 hp and torque of 502 lb-ft. Frankly speaking, sprint to 60 mph could be faster than 4.7 seconds with such an output. Apart from that, there is an electronic limit to maximum 155 mph.
