Just a few days ago the top-end BMW X6 model, codenamed xDrive50i, was spotted near Spartanburg. While the xDrive50 is really not news to the bimmer fans, it is still interesting to see the minor design differences from the X6 xDrive35i.

I think the main selling point of the BMW X6 xDrive50i will be the amazingly powerful 4.4 liter V8 twin-turbo engine that outputs 400 horsepower and 450lb-ft torque.

We're positive that our regular readers remember all the details on the x50i, so we won't be repeating them, but in case you would like to catch up, our BMW X6 category will probably answer most of your questions.

In the mean time, here are some latest photos taken by the guys at MotorAuthority.

The X6 is getting into my good book for SUV's. :thumb: Not that I'm in the market for an SUV or SAV (as BMW prefers to call them).

Or SAC in the case of the X6.

When it's time to trade the GL, I may reconsider my opinion of the X6. That TTV8 draws me like a black hole - it's got to be a great drive for a SUV/SAV/SAC.

By the time you are ready to trade the GL, maybe the M X6 might be out, if rumours are true!
