I am saying I highly doubt it.

I was reading a review on Jalopnik, but where they wrote "The 2019 BMW X5 will be available in the U.S. with a 4.4-liter turbo V8 packing 456 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque as the xDrive M50i, and a 3.0-liter turbo inline-six good for 340 HP and 332 lb-ft of torque as the xDrive M40i. The latter of which is the only one I drove."

That said I looked at the pictures more closely. I think it might have been a typo since the pictures show just xDrive 40i on there.

US configurator shows neither of these options. Neither did the ordering guides. Jalopnik appears to be wrong...
