Does X+V=M?

Well, it this case, it does. The rumored BMW X5 M has been spotted again being test driven in Germany. It is still unclear which engine will power this X5 M, the choices are between the V12 engine found in the 760i or the rumored new twin-turbo V8 engine. The V12 delivers 438bhp but it's still short of the 700bhp V12 found in the BMW X5 LeMans.

As you can see from these photos, the cosmetic changes are not that visible, the only difference between this new BMW X5 M and the regular X5, it's the two sets of twin exhaust tips and the front bumper has bigger air-intakes.
