We already know that BMW is planning to introduce the most potent X SUV ever built by 2019, the new model being called the X7, which will be away too impressive than the existing X5 and X6.

Both aforementioned models got their hardcore versions from the M division and it was just a matter of time until the German carmaker would plan the introduction of an X7 M model, just shortly after the introduction of the base X7.

The carmaker`s planning of an X7 M model has also sparkled the rendering artists` imaginations who have already envisioned their own hardcore model. The latest rendering is the one seen above and it is signed by no other than theophiluschin.

As we can depict from the rendering, the BMW X7 M is looking extremely appealing yet coming with an aggressive design thanks to the M parts around the body styling.

Even if the model was not yet officially confirmed by the carmaker, it is believed that it would come as the main competitor of the new Bentley Bentayga, presently the most powerful SUV on the market, as well as of the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GLS 63, another potent SUV from Mercedes-Benz which promises to come with impressive performance and torque.

Also, even if there aren`t any officials details concerning the engine under the hood, the upcoming BMW X7 M might pack a powerful lineup, with a wide array of six- and eight-cylinder mills. A hardcore version of the 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, also underpinning the future X7, might also join the club, this one packing around 600 horsepower. And if everything goes according as planned, a V12 engine would also find its way underneath the X7 M`s skin.

Following the official unveiling of the BMW X2 Concept at the 2016 Paris Motor Show just a while ago, the gorgeous SUV is back into the spotlights in a new media gallery, which highlights its extraordinary evolutionary design.

BMW is ready to change the face of its X lineup for good, preparing a new range of models which will be bigger, closer to perfection and extremely powerful. And the real proof stands the carmaker`s plans of to introduce the long-expected X8, which will be the epiphany of technology and sheer power.

Now, the X2 Concept is the start of the all-new X2 production model ready for the market somewhere in 2018, with the same architecture underpinning its X1 sibling. We are dealing here with a rebadged X1 in bigger clothing.

Once it will emerge on the market, the future BMW X2 will come with upgraded powertrains from the present X1, adding the company`s new xDrive all-wheel-drive system.

Also very important, the carmaker is also planning an M version which would take on the all-new Mercedes-AMG GLA 45, and coming with petrol burners and diesels with four-cylinder configuration. According to a new report from Autocar, the M model would come with a 2.0-liter flat-four turbo engine, with around 300 horsepower. Later on, a plug-in hybrid will also follow.

Until full details with the future X2 model production emerge, get to enjoy the extraordinary media gallery with the recently unveiled BMW X2 Concept, and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

According to some reports released by Autocar, BMW German based automaker is planning to launch eight SUVs by 2020, which would be something revolutionary in terms of innovation and technology investments.

We are talking about a range of SUVs starting with a compact X1 FWD, to a more sporty X8 model, derived from the X7 seven-seat.

Even if the German automaker hasn’t confirmed the whole eight SUVs, there is one of them that has already been planned by BMW.

First, BMW is planning a future X1, standing on the new UKL platform, with a front-wheel drive layout, while the future X2 will share the platform with the new MINI and the 2-Series Active Tourer.

Next in line, the X3 will be coming in 2017, with no details so far, yet we do know that the BMW X4 already launched, will be followed by an M Performance model as well.

The X5 model will soon be followed by an M version as well, rumored to sport a 4.4-liter V8 unit, while the higher X6 will be coming with a more masculine design.

Finally, the BMW X7 and X8 will be closely related, as the latter one will be based on the X7, promising to be much sportier in order to successfully compete against the future Audi Q8.

The Bavarians at BMW have plenty of new models in the pipeline and there’s a lot of controversy that is spinning around the rumors and announcements that emerge about them.

King of the hill among the importance and controversy levels as well we find the BMW i8. Being built to be some sort of hybrid supercar is just the half of it.

The most important part of the equation however is the styling. BMW have taken a few leaps of fate in recent years with design ideas and it seems they don’t plan to stop anytime soon.

Here’s the deal though, BMW fans and general car buying public have taken decently well to the iffy style as long as the driving pleasure and performance was still there.

Sadly though, BMW have some bad new about that segment of the i8’s future development. The M version of the hybrid supercar was dropped.

That could be a bit of a problem, because the BMW i8M or whatever it’s to be called, would have been a high performance version of the car that had no electric part in its propulsion.

It seems like even though the BMW i8 isn’t going to offer an M version, it will retain its flagship status for the Bavarian company.

Estimated figures for the BMW i8 come in at over €100.000 or roughly over 130.000 USD at current exchange rates.

That’s not a bad price for a BMW flagship but all i’m thinking that it would provide more than the 393 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque.

The new BMW X5 M version will come earlier this year in Australia. The reported bottom price of 2010 BMW X5 M is $90,000 but it’s not official. These pictures with 2010 BMW X5 M were shown officialy by BMW. The M version of BMW X5 comes with a 4.4 litre V8 engine with 408 kiloWatt output.

BMW X5 M accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,7 seconds. Just like the M version of BMW X6, develops 555 horse power at 6000 RPM. The transmission has 6 Speed M Sport paddle shifted automanual. I’m surprised about how exclusive is this car. In Australia will be only 100 BMW X5 M and 1/4 X6 M.

The 2010 BMW X5 M specifications are very tempting but I still prefer the hybrid version, just to save the planet. If you really want such a car you should have already between $90k and $200k because it is possible that other clients to buy the M version of BMW X5.
