Very disappointed after all the rumors of M-DCT... Porsche has PDK as standard on their base Macan!
Why do they use the M-DCT shifter on a std 8 speed auto box? Misleading... The HP is also a major let down... Minimum should have been the 575 offered on the M5 competition package. 3% increase over predecessor?? Someone stop the presses... Interior and Exterior look good but not great to me. $10K jump in base price is significant to say the least. |

What does this prove? The last gen had a 6psd? If you had pictures of the second clutch, the claim would be compelling... this is just a electronic shift leaver (something that can take almost any form).

Love the two new M colors. And that X6M is looking surprisingly sharp.

For what it's worth, the E92 335is and the E89 Z4 35is both had DCT transmissions, but they used the 8-speed auto shifter instead.

I actually saw a test mule today in my town in NJ. I turned around but couldn't get video or pics. It's funny because this was released today. I have never seen a test mule before.

exhaust
I may have missed it but I did not see anything mentioned about the exhaust or whether it had active sound like the M5 and M3/4.
Donington looks very similar to Space gray which is good, not a fan of Singapore or Mineral gray too dark for me. Not a fan of the fogs but love the standard 21"s with non run flats. Looks like the replacement for my 2013 X5M.. |

Disappointed to not see a DCT when there were early rumours that said it would finally get one but given the fact that the 8-Speed AT that BMW uses is that good, it's not that big of a deal.
As for design, I think it blows the previous X5/6 M's away, the lines are so damn sharp looking in the best way possible. |

Wasn't a big fan of the new X5 when it debuted but the X5 M looks amazing especially those seats!
Only thing I don't understand is why it comes with a 8AT and not DCT..

I think I prefer the look of the M sport X5 than this.
Something about this SUV is weird to me. It looks good in person but pictures/video just don't do it. Afraid of sticker price. _@
