The M division prepped version is also a big hit with the specialist tuner so it is pretty much impossible to ignore. The basic cars may be related, but the AC Schnitzer makeovers seem to be completely different.

There’s a generally familiar look but the details are much more focused on this version. The X6 M doesn’t have the Falcon’s compromised exterior.

Everything here is styled as form dictates in order to achieve the best type of performance and aerodynamic efficiency. The paint and alloy wheels sum up what you can specify in terms of looks.

AC Schnitzer have setup the car for a blistering performance by revising the aerodynamics, the suspension setups and so on yet they aren’t ready to tell us what’s in store with the engine.

The S63 4.4 liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine has been out for quite a while now and we thought they had sufficient time to produce a remarkably fast car by now.

We’re willing to cut them some slack because of the recent performance they managed in the 2012 DTM season but as that’s over now they should chop to it.

It’s not like the X6 is an unpopular car and it’s certainly not that the X6 M is the sort of car that rich punters don’t want to have one that’s faster and more aggressive looking.

That would certainly fit the bill for the G-Power E60 BMW 5 Series. Then again, let’s remind ourselves that we live in the real world.

Cars live for much longer than usual here and if that’s the case, why not make your own stand out… or maybe outperform the newest model?

The German tuner has proven time and time again that there’s plenty of technology they have at their disposal to do so. Somehow, that’s not the case.

Whatever the person that contracted the E60 5 Series with G-Power didn’t bother with the performance aspects. The only thing that may help is the custom exhaust system.

Some would say the new wheel and tire setup would help the situation but that’s not always the case so let’s not focus on that aspect for now.

The best you can get from that equation is the fact that the amount of un-sprung mass has been considerably reduced.

Of all the changes in this condition, the most important ones of the lot is the removal of the electronic speed limiter.

Unless you get some of the more powerful versions of the E60 5 Series, that might not be the most important bit you can get as most will hardly hit 150.

Really, your best option is to enjoy the styling tweaks G-Power blesses you with and try not to notice the asking price for the conversion.

Nothing outrageous, there’s no surprising million horsepower under the bonnet and the seats don’t even have ejector buttons.

The surprise with Project Kahn’s work is that this lightly tuned SUV is not a Land Rover made model. The British tuner actually took on a German.

It’s the Bavarian built BMW X5, particularly the xDrive30d version. You wouldn’t really be able to tell what model is on display but you certainly know what car we’re talking about.

Getting back to the actual tuning, obviously the big fat 22 inch RSL alloy wheels painted in a Silver Palladium finish.

The color of the wheels is only relevant if you’re to consider the way it makes the new stealthy black paint stand out from the crowd.

An eagle eyed enthusiast will notice that the BMW X5 xDrive 30d by Project Kahn also comes with an unusual brake caliper color for the Bavarians.

That’ll be a Liquid Red shade that’s usually reserved to some of the most agitated of sports cars. All of these details together should make for quite the performance package right?

Wrong, beyond the subtly refreshed exterior of the Kahn BMW X5 xDrive30d, we find nothing more than the standard performance drivetrain.

The interior of the X5 however, receives considerably more upgrades. Quilted perforated leather, carbon fiber inserts and new glove box

That’s quite the makeover in details but what is a rather questionable decision is the one that Kahn took when they swapped out the instrument panel.
