Thanks for that.

I was aware the X5M was confirmed for Oz but I was wondering about the 300kW 4.4 litre twin turbo V8 that is currently in the X6 xDrive50i and whether or not there were plans to drop that into the X5. I would be extremely interested in that option. I personally don't like the look of the X5M. I prefer the subtlety of the current E70 body.

Of course, the 300kW Twin would be able to be chipped for even more grunt
