BMW’s development of the F15 X5 M model seems to be going at pretty high pace since they’re done with the track work and are now running it down the road.

As a fan could say, I’ll admit to it being an overstatement. Development on a car is never going to be over and that there’s still a few track days in store for the next X5 M.

The public appearance is lovely though, especially since the upcoming X5 M is starting to get less and less shy about showing up around here.

The noise this thing is making is pretty sweet too, that twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter V8 can really sing when it has a set of quad exhausts at its disposal.

Unfortunately though, this is pretty much where the really good news end. The camouflage on the SAV is still pretty heavy.

Most of the details on this car are simply hidden away. The only exposed bits are the roof, the front windows and the alloy wheels.

The wheels will be changed when the car is released and the windows weren’t expected to be different anyway so we’re basically getting to see nothing.

Among the most important changes here we’ll see the underpinnings so they couldn’t really be visible at any point.

That engine is supposed to be turned up to around 600 horsepower whereas the weight should be dropping by about 330 pounds.

Should this information turn out to be accurate, the F10 BMW X5 M should once again stun the world of family friendly SUVs in terms of performance.

It’s unbelievable just how privileged some people can be at times. While most of us still think of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe as a concept, one of the first ones was spotted out on the streets.

The imagery came courtesy of bimmertoday.de with the location being Augsburg, Germany.

Not even the incredibly boring and faded silver metallic paint chosen for this specific model was capable of fending off the eye of the BMW connoisseur and even if you weren’t one, you’d have a hard time not noticing it.

Grabbing a set of photos take under normal conditions and left unaltered generally tends to showcase some less than beautiful lines of the car, lines you would otherwise be unlikely to see.

That’s not the case with the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe.

What you saw in the studio pics is what you get here and despite the unfriendly season, the driver of this particular 6 Series Gran Coupe has kept it almost perfectly clean. Makes it a lot easier to enjoy.

The onlooker didn’t take any pictures of the interior, or, if he did, they weren’t good enough for a release but we are told that the seat layout seems usable. Not exactly a major concern, but still important as the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is claimed to have a 4+1 seat layout.

This means 4 adults should be able to sit comfortably in it with a small child being seated in between the rear armchairs.

The photographed model of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe we see here roaming the wilds was a 650i, the model to want until the M division make a version of their own.
