Hence why Audi and Mercedes are fast-tracking similar SAC Concepts.
X5M and X6M even surpassed E90 M3 sales again in 2011, just like 2010.
The X5M and X6M will receive replacements under the (F15) and (F16)

Big sellers do not an M car make, Scott
Though I have no doubt that BMW will continue to crank them and similar M-branded-but-not-really-M cars out as long as people who care more about status than character shell out their newly acquired money for them.
