needspeed First Lieutenant  10Rep 319Posts Drives: 10 X5 M/05 F430/12 CTS-V Coupe Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Middle of nowhere IOWA iTrader: (0) | If you have the money, then the X5M is well worth the premium to me. I chose the M over the 5.0 after driving them both and finding the M to be in another league. It just satisfies on so many levels. Your mileage may vary, but I traded in my 1 year old M3 on it and I do not miss the M3.........Steve __________________ 10 BMW X5 M Silverstone w/Black on Black interior - Loaded 12 CTS-V Coupe Thunder Gray - Loaded 13 Ford GT500 (650HP Priceless!!!!) as soon as can be delivered 05 F430 F1 - Giallo 08 BMW M3 Interlagos Blue Metallic - DCT (Traded) |

| BlackX5 Private First Class 18Rep 102Posts Drives: TL TypeS Join Date: Feb 2016 Location: Dallas , TX iTrader: (0) | Looks like they have more than 1 electric pump. "Together with other features, a second low-temperature radiator with an additional electrical coolant pump improves the intercooling function on the new M TwinPower Turbo. This optimises the performance of indirect intercooling in particularly dynamic driving cycles. And last but not least, an additional electrical coolant pump with an after-running function serves to cool the bearing mounts on the turbochargers after switching off the engine."

The 50 uses the N63B44 engine whereas the M uses the S63B44 engine. The heads of the S63 are different, and the exhaust manifold as well as the turbos are completely different The N63 has had its share of reliability issues, especially in the E70. I'm not sure about the reliability of the S63, though. Just my $0.02 (well, $0.03). __________________ If winning isn't everything, then why keep score?
