I am waiting for the '14 M6 with a manual trans, but bought a '13 X5M in the year-end hoopla to amuse me until the M6 is available next summer. I never thought I'd own an SUV but this pig really flys with 555HP, x-drive and launch control! Once it is Dinan'd I'd like to run it against an M5 to see how much the pork slows it down.

I came across Angeles Crest Hwy late last night and the truck actually handles pretty good in full-on M mode
