It was a very recent unveiling of the Bavarians that the BMW M6 Gran Coupe received and it won our hearts instantly. A four door coupe is great, this one is brilliant.

When the first images of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe were introduced, basically laying the ground work for something like this.

Providing us with a M6 version is like giving an overly excitable child the toy he dreams of most. How could ever not rejoice?

Somehow it seems that people did not do so completely and BMW decided to fight back and win over all those who aren’t completely fascinated by the idea.

This time we get a set of beautifully done photos of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe shot in action. To make sure those who don’t appreciate simplicity are pleased, there’s some HDR work in there too.

Otherwise, the rest of us are more focused on the great lines of this beautiful four door from the M division and its powerplant.

The S63Tu is the sort of powerplant that novels should be written about. No matter how much critics would love to say that there’s turbo lag up to 1500 rpm, it’s epic.

The “lag” is real and it does happen but I’d like to post the question, do people really buy something like an M6 Gran Coupe for the joy of driving around at idle?

If that’s their style, it’s fairly doubtful that they’re pants will ever catch on fire so badly that they will need an instant hit of 560 horsepower.

They can’t afford to stand still. Just because they’ve got the advantage and some of the best products out there doesn’t mean they can relax.

BMW know this and they’re currently working towards several new cars. Among them, one of the most interesting bits is the BMW X5 SAV, and its special M division version.

This model will be known as the F15 BMW X5 M and it was recently spied, caught on video no less, going round the Nurburgring for a shakedown.

Since the actual car isn’t due for a major makeover, the M version isn’t going to be a revolution either. The same engine will be used as will most of the underpinnings.

Have a look at what the familiar twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter V8 S63Tu engine can manage when lugging around an enormous SAV around the track:

Sounds awesome, seems to be moving at quite the pace and it’s a boring change from the previous version. In fairness, there’s quite a few common bits but you can’t deny the engineer’s effort.

The charge-air coolers are new, the cylinder heads are new, there’s been some work done to the timing, some to the oil sump and the pump.

Power is expected to go up to around 560 horses and it is expected to do so in a reliable fashion, no matter how much you’re killing it around the track.

The F15 BMW X5 doesn’t sound like that much of a difference but when you look down at it, the changes do stack up.
