Here we are back with some fresh info about the sensational 2015 BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M, revealing some of their technical details, in terms of power, transmission, stability, steering, braking system and so on.

We already know that the two premium SUVs are equipped with the company`s most powerful unit, the 4.4-liter V8, which utilizes the M TwinPower Turbo technology tagged along some TwinScroll turbochargers.

The BMW carmaker has also fitted the cross-bank manifolds, the VALVETRONIC and High Precision Direct Petrol Injection, which come with a power boost, of 70 Nm of torque, between 2,200 and 5,000 rpm.

Both 2015 BMW X5 M and X6 M`s engines are hooked to the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, which helps the cars react more quickly to load changes, while the torque converter auto enables the “creep on demand”, via the Low Speed Assistant.

Another particularity which sets the tone is the steering system, as it ensures the perfect balance between stability and precise handling in different driving conditions.

The steering comes hand in hand with the braking system which equips the 2015 BMW X5 M and X6 M with wide six-piston fixed calipers in the front, while the back comes with a single-piston floating calipers. This would be translated into low weight, precise stopping power and resistance to heat.

The 2015 BMW X6 M was recently unveiled along with the X5 M sibling, and the model has already been subjected to a body facelift, carried out by the famous designer X-Tomi Design and rendered online in a convertible body style.

I am astonished by the designer`s creativity but taking a look at the rendering, I can only say that this the strangest makeover carried out on a BMW car.

This particular rendering has it all, or not having anything at all, as it misses the roof, has no rear doors, so imagine yourself driving such a strange SUV. But of course, this will never happen.

But you can`t play with X-Tomi Desing and should take this rendering just as a mere imagery exercise.

The 2015 BMW X5 M and X6 M were officially unveiled last week, being considered the latest top of the line models from the entire X family.

The 2016 X6 M is wearing a highly performance 4.4-liter V8 unit under the hood, which develops an impressive 567 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque, hooked to an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission.

There are no official tests to test how rapid is the newly unveiled 2015 BMW X6 M on the track, but according to Auto Sport, the model is considered as fast as the E92 BMW M3.

The conclusions were reached after the 2015 BMW X6 M has run over 8,000 kilometers on the Nurburgring, which makes it equal to the BMW E92 M3.

The 2015 BMW X6 M thus run the Nurburgring-Nordschleife in a good 8:24 minutes, while the E92 M3 managed 8:04 minutes, which will make the F86 X6 M 20 seconds faster than the previous model.

The performance is also due to the SUVs weight, as Herbert Bayerl, the project manager at BMW, states that the 2015 BMW X6 M is just 2,275 kg, which would easy compete the lighter E92 M3, with its 1,700 kilos.

The record lap held at Nurburgring belongs however to the Range Rover Sport SVR, running 8:14 minutes, a good timing which BMW says it managed to overcome it many times.
