I haven't found any sites that give any worthwhile info about the X5M, i've only read about it in a few mags.. apparently BMW's Motorsport division, which has made ALL the M-cars up to now has lost out to Alpina, who will make the X5M. BMW looked at both divisions' offers and chose Alpina... i'm sure the boys at BMW Motorsport were pretty surprised at the decision
, and needless to say aren't too pleased with it

The X5 LM lapped the 'Ring in 7mins49s
... i cant remember the Porsche GT2's lap time but they're pretty close!! It was driven by Hans Stuck.. you'll find an article about it at this site:

It reached 194mph
,
, and
again !!! 3mph off a 959 !!! that is simply unbelievable... you have to take your hat off to BMW, they've really achieved something amazing with the LM..
Here are a few pics
cheers
