Did BMW really choose to greenlight the X5 M and X6 M over the M3 CSL?

 

Yes and it pisses me off. IMO, they probably realized they made a big mistake. Its too late in the pipeline now so lets see what it can do. This motor will no doubt be in the new BMW M5. Its almost as if 4.8 to 60 and 13.3 int he quarter wasnt good enough for the X6..

 

if the CSL was still in productions would we see here?

X5 M... badass.....

 

hell i was happy with the 4.6/4.8is....which is whats replacing my TSX.

 

^^^you liar!! lol

 

E46 M3 or E39 M5 next summer, and a TSX replacement here soon, most likely in the X family. 4.4i at the very least.

 

Damn!

 

im not a baller, the crashing economy has make 60-70K plus cars affordable to me. i can get a nice example of both for around 20k. same for the X5. hell some of them are getting into the teens. i have many hook up in the car biz(read my dad, lol) and so i can get them at auction price which is usually 5-7k off retail.

 

That sounds super sweet man. Just make sure you get a clean maintained example.

 

ya, im going to get whatever i buy PPI'd.
