Also, give the man his due credit. It's Dr. Siegler.
Well, from what I've read, turbos were gonna be in the cards whether it was Dr. S at helm or not...and the writing was on the wall with the X5 LM...the daddy of the X5 M/X6 M, plus BMW wanted a piece of the Cayenne Turbo, Mercedes ML63 AMG pie...I see nothing wrong with that...considering that the X5 M/X6 M have better Ring times than the E46 M3 and better 0-60 times...
