Couple of X5/X6M video links & Facelift information
Bad news for current X5 M owners?
According to one of our sources, the X5 facelift is due around march/april 2010.
There won't be any power or engine upgrade but the 6-speed automatic tranny may be replaced by a different system (8-speed tranny or even DKG) and the X5 M may get KERS, maybe optional.
Just wanted to mention it... my X5 M is going to be produced in January, so I guess I have no chance of getting a facelift.
Why I care ? The DKG and/or KERS upgrade could improve the performance figures of the X5 M, even if the power output stays the same.
Minor external changes are expected for the X5 M, LED daylight running lights are being tested (not sure if they make it into production) and the taillights look more like the new 7series lights.
A minor price increase is also to be expected.
Here are the video links (NOT Facelift related), enjoy:

X5 M exhaust sound. Actually sounds nicer than on X6 M. Interesting.

For those who understand German and enjoy some fun video footage (not really X5M related but M related)
