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.

You won't find a single one of these qualities in M's latest efforts.
