BMW X6 xDrive50i testing its muscles

Just a few days ago the top-end BMW X6 model, codenamed xDrive50i, was spotted near Spartanburg. While the xDrive50 is really not news to the bimmer fans, it is still interesting to see the minor design differences from the X6 xDrive35i.

I think the main selling point of the BMW X6 xDrive50i will be the amazingly powerful 4.4 liter V8 twin-turbo engine that outputs 400 horsepower and 450lb-ft torque.

We're positive that our regular readers remember all the details on the x50i, so we won't be repeating them, but in case you would like to catch up, our BMW X6 category will probably answer most of your questions.

In the mean time, here are some latest photos taken by the guys at MotorAuthority.

This is not the x6 50i. this is the x6 “m” that was shown in pictures before. bimmerpost.com has photos of this exact car and they call it the “hotrod ///m”. Look at the air intakes in front, larger for more air to flow to a more powerful engine.

NOTE the quad exhaust. Not an xDrive50i by BMW standards. This exhaust screams ///M just like the X5 with similar exhaust.
