    That seems to weaken the M brand, but its not like the X6 should get normal M treatment. Their were rumors of a PHEV M3 a year ago. That would be a greener M.

    Thanks for all the diesel updates btw!

    That could be interesting. Focus on smoothing out the powertrain and all of that torque can result in some tyre-shredding numbers but just like performance hybrids, you can still take it to work without it emptying your wallet (well.. relatively since some of the vehicles cost a pretty penny anyway).

    The M3 is already greener than a Prius.



    :D

    But these numbers are staggering... They are on par or better than most stage 1 ECU tunes (ECU tuning + bigger intercooler and turbo)...

    True, but the hybrid x6 has 440hp, with a v8 + motors, it is rare for a M to have less horsepower than the eco version:D I'm sure the M is less expensive too.:eek:
