Le Mans but with hotter rims. Those are not too hot at all.

Truthfully, for no other reason than the power!

Re: BMW X5 4.8is or X5 LeMans?

How about the Porsche Cay. Turbo Gemballa with like 700hp. And the Tech art, those things are pretty outstanding as well.

Exactly my view on it too. It's the significant power disparity between the two which makes me wanna take the Le Mans, ..because when it comes to visual appeal, I'm in love with the X5 4.8iS, especially in that Le Mans Blue colour. Great looking vehicle!!

As for the Le Mans, ..well, as Alex said, better rims would be real nice..!! as would an update on the front lights and grille to match the current X5.

Just wondering guys, ..how come the X5 4.8iS has a 4.8L engine, and 'only' churns out 360hp ?? I know it ain't exactly an '///M' car, but I thought the engine could do better than that. Or is it simply because the competition had around the same hp level, so no need trying to have a 450hp engine, when the competition only had around 350hp anyway ??

The engine is developed by Alpina and not BMW. BMW just bought the engine and now using it

are you sure? I think it's the same engine you get in a 750 or 550.
