The all-new $86,255 BMW X5 M may have 555-horsepower, but it's not the most powerful X5 BMW has ever built.
When the X5 first came out, BMW wanted to prove that it was more than your average SUV underneath the skin. So it wedged a 6.0-liter V12 from one of its LeMans prototypes into an X5. It produced 750-horsepower and made the X5 sound like no other SUV you've ever heard.
Watch as Hans Stuck examines its full potential.

Great find! How come I'd never seen this before?
I think "shoehorn" is a more appropriate term. Look how tightly it fits!
