BMW has released two promo videos of its revised-for-2013
X6 M. From the looks of things, Team Bavaria has opted for a very subtle facelift that includes new headlights and a lightly tweaked grille. Otherwise, the mighty performance utility looks much as it did last year. Word has it the interior will receive similarly slight changes, with the option sheet getting a few more leather choices and little else. Likewise, the freshened BMW X6 M is expected to make use of this year's 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine.
Buyers can expect to relish the same 547 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque as last year, which should be good enough to scoot the beast to 62 mph in a scant 4.7 seconds.
Hit the jump to take a look at the two videos for yourself.

While the notion of an M-tuned SUV may have seemed inconceivable just a few years ago, the
BMW X5 M and
X6 M are by now a reality. And it's
already been hinted that the M-powered SUV family is set to gain a new diesel-powered member.
BMW has now released a second clip showing an X6 equipped what we expect is a tri-turbo oil-burner and an M badge on its rump.
Follow the jump to watch the intentionally blurry video. We're guessing that the un-blurred real-life version will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

If you've had trouble slotting the
BMW X6 M into any existing vehicle category in the past, we have bad news for you: it's probably not gonna get easier.
BMW has released a teaser video for "A new chapter powered by
M," featuring none other than the X6 M. It appears the go-fast guys and gals at BMW are up to something entertaining, as the portly crossover is subtly blurred throughout the duration of this short clip. We do get a glimpse of the vehicle's badge work. Even through the haze, it's clear this beast has something special up its sleeve. Or, rather, in its engine bay.
What could it be? Odds are this is the
diesel X6 M we've already seen frolicking around the Nürburgring. If the vehicle in this clip and that oil-burning monster are one and the same, we can expect to find a tri-turbo diesel engine under the hood, though no solid power figures have leaked yet. We're guessing the final numbers will land somewhere between earth-shattering and cosmically outrageous.
Hit the jump to check out the video for yourself.

A
BMW X6 M captured running round the 'Ring is nothing to get excited about - the physics-defying rig was practically born there. A camo-clad X6 M wearing a hood with a massive scoop? Now that's worth talking about, and it's precisely what our spy photographers have just snapped at their asphalt-laden
Nürburgring office. The extra dose of air is understood to be a requirement of the rumored tri-turbo engine lurking beneath the hood.
We've already heard how the
BMW 5 Series is getting a triple-charged diesel mill. We've also heard
grumblings of a three-turbo setup for the X5. Naturally, it would only make sense to find the same powerplant making its way over to the nearly identical X6.
As we were with that particularly famous alien lady from
Total Recall, we're excited to learn more about this diesel-drinking tri-turbo X6. Horsepower and torque figures should be high enough to make us giddy, while the price tag will most likely have enough numbers to bring us back down to earth. Stay tuned as we learn more about what's going on under the hood, but for now you, can check out this test mule from a handful of angles in the gallery.

2011 Porsche Panamera Turbo - Click above to watch video
after the jump has amassed three of the automotive world's black sheep for a little throw-down on the quarter mile. The
2011 Porsche Panamera Turbo lurks in one corner, complete with its 550-horsepower, forced-induction 4.8-liter V8. What could possibly serve as a fitting combatant to such a lump of angry metal? The
2011 BMW X6 M is up to the challenge. With a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that kicks out 555 horsepower, the gangly SUV should have the cajones to give the bad Porsche a run for its schnitzel.
Of course, where's the fun in watching two German heavyweights go around the ring? In order to add a little spice to this mix, the guys from
MT threw in the
2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon. Now it's a party.
How does it turn out? We won't spoil it for you.
Hit the jump to check out the video for yourself. If you look really closely, you might even see a
familiar face that used to haunt these halls. Word has it that we can expect a more mouth-watering video with these three amigos to show up later this week.
