there is a press release that bmw released that only referred to the x6 m and not the x5…hopefully they will both be announced (and available) next week.

does anyone know if both cars will have updated electronics including functionality like sending google maps addresses to the car like the 7 series?

@dmlgc: You might be right, but the price difference between a 335i and M3 or 550i and M5 is way smaller. I honestly don't think the price on the X5 will go over 100k, maybe the X6, but that's a bit of a stretch also. We shall find out next week, if I'm wrong, I'll be the first one to admit it :) Make sure you remind me if I "forget"

The price difference between a standard 2009 3 series and and 2009 m3 is about $35k. difference between a standard 2009 5 series and and 2009 m5 is about $35k.

So I would expect the X6M to be closer to $100K

That should read “hiding” or “hidden” not “hidding”

@Horatiu B.: Thanks for the clarification I completely missed the part where you said it was your assumption once I saw figures under $100k

@Tony Perrone: The European pricing is always higher. My numbers are pure speculation, as I mentioned. But no one really knows the pricing right now....Both prices are about 15-16k more than the base price of the higher-end model. I doubt BMW will go with the X5 M from 56k to 100k+

Horatiu where are you getting the price points for these? I believe I saw a post on bimmerfile (can’t find it here) recently putting the X5/6 M’s at 100,000+ euros.

I wouldn’t be complaining if the X5 M actually starts at $71,000 it’s the other number that concerns me.

Kudos to BMW if they do offer both these vehicles starting under $100k since that is what turned me away from the Cayenne Turbo S
