Want a (Relatively) Cheap 500 HP Engine? Get a BMW X5 M

500 HP is not that much of a luxury these days. In fact, having a car that powerful doesn’t have to mean you’re driving a race monster; Alfa Romeos get that far today. However, it’s still not that common that you don’t have to pay good money for it. That’s why today we’re presenting you one amazing car with 500+ horses that you can actually get at an acceptable price.

The BMW X5 M uses a 570 HP 4.4-liter TwinTurbo V8 engine and starts at $100,700. Of course, that’s still expensive, just not as much as the similarly powered cars used to be until recently.

If you want to spend even less, you have other options such as Mercedes-AMG C63 S which costs around $75,000, however, there’s more to the X5 M than the mere power. Our Bavarian favorite also features an all-wheel drive, seats five passengers comfortably, and has a huge trunk. That makes it the absolute winner in the category, as it not only performs great but is also a practical everyday car.
