New BMW X6 M and X5 M Make Debuts in ‘09

Posted on 05. Apr, 2009 by admin.

The modern, sustainable legacy of BMW M began in 1985 when engineers placed the snarling, race-bred inline-6 engine from the M1 supercar into the production BMW 5 Series sedan, reworked the suspension and brakes, and created the first M5.
