That looks lovely Paul - although I see the replacement F95 X5M due later this year is retaining the V8 with a power increase to 592 bhp, so won't you feel a bit short-changed with 'only' 575 bhp :lol:

There are fair number of coding options available for the the Fxx chassis cars, I've made a number of worthwhile 'improvements' to our F25 - will you be plugging in the laptop?

I will indeed have a look at the settings at some stage. The new X5M is not out until 2020 though which is why I bit the bulit now for this one. I compared it to the Cayenne S which is the identical price but was just not offering the same levels of power and equipment.

My mistake then - the reports I've seen said it would be revealed at the Paris show in October with deliveries starting in mid-2019.

I know you have to take these things with a (large) pinch of salt but I've read that BMW are changing the normal release schedules for some of the M models because of the new, much stricter, WLTP emissions testing e.g. they're going to stop production of models such as the M3 sooner than scheduled because it won't pass WLTP and, as a consequence, will release the new version soon after the G20 3-series rather than the normal 12-18 month delay. On the other hand, they're going to keep producing (an emissions-modified version of) the M4 as the new version of the 4-series isn't due until late 2020 - the costs of modifying the M4 being justified by the remaining production runtime.
