Your point is?
You do remember the X5 LM, the vehicle that had the V12 from the LeMans winning LM prototype racecar...which had a engine was based on the S70/2 engine from Mclaren F1?

And supposedly this monster put out 750 HP and had a very quick ring time...
Well, it was done as a one off (I think two were made), and it was done by M Division--you don't think any of them had said "hmmmm, a X5 M?" ?
that X5 LM is the precursor, the spiritual daddy of the X5/X6 M
