Despite former assertions to the divergent, all indications are now that BMW is preparing its first batch of M-tuned sport-utilities, including a X5 M and X6 M. Advancing-period examine mules for both have now been spied by an earnest photographer right here in the United States, at BMW's Performance Center suffering footprint in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The prototype X5 and X6 M have enlarged air intakes with fair LED headlamps up front and aerodynamic rear bumpers with square pipes poking out the back. The trademark M section feature gills have been camouflaged, but the exhaust remarks are a reported inert steal: the X5 M prototype sounding like a twin-turbo V8, while the X6 M sounds more like a V10 or V12. The appearance of the M-tuned crossovers on American soil instead of on the Nurburgring gives us an idea of just who BMW will be targeting with the performance sport-utes. Check out all the spy shots in our arcade below and hit up the font for two spy videos. Mad props to PalBay for the tip and the shots!2009 BMW M-tuned X5 and X6 in Spartanburg
