2010 BMW X5 M and 2010 BMW X6 M - 2009 New York Auto Show Coverage, New car Reviews, Concept Cars - Automobile Magazine
You can be as upset as you like about the inherent absurdity of a 550-hp sport SUV, but it's hard to argue with how good the 2010 BMW X5 M and X6 M drive.

The arrival of the controversial X5 M and X6 M might be confirmation that BMW has dumped every engineering principle that made its M cars so distinctive and consistently good for the last thirty years. Until now, all M cars have had a high-revving, normally aspirated engine, a manual or automated manual gearbox, rear-wheel-drive, and a sedan or sports car shell. You won't find a single one of these qualities in M's latest efforts.
