BMW has officially confirmed the existence of its upcoming X5 M high-performance SUV by releasing this video of the X5 M undergoing testing.

The video shows Bernd Limmer, technical director for the E92 M3 project and a former M-division chassis engineer, putting the X5 M through the wringer at everyone’s favourite test track – the Nurburgring Nordschliefe.

There’s no real hard info in the vid and Limmer spends most of his time talking about the M-car philosophy, but it’s still worth taking a look just to see how the big X5 handles those tricky curves. Check it out after the jump.
