BMW BLOG

In the next few months, all the media outlets – print and online, will write many articles comparing the recently released BMW X5 M and X6 M to other similar models, such as Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, Audi Q7 or the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.

But we’re jumping ahead here and we will throw at you lots of numbers, technical specs and …..more numbers. At the end, since we care about what you think, we will give you the option to vote your favorite, modern or most powerful SUV….well, SAV and SAC if we’re being picky now.

All the data was compiled by Mr. CarGuy, so many thanks in advance.
