Default Wtf Is This???

Anyone care to guess??? Sorry this is the only pic i have of it, i saw it going the opposite way i was going so i busted a U turn and tried to follow, at the light i snapped this pic but as you can see its heavily camoflauged, all i can tell you is that the guy driving saw that i was trying to take pics and was NOT HAPPY, in fact when the light turned green this damn thing took off like a bat out of hell (like cayenne turbo fast), and he started driving like a damn maniac trying to lose me, i eventually gave up trying to get more pics before he caused an accident.

My guess is its some new type of BMW SUV such as the new X5/X3(M)??? It had manufacturer tags on it and i can tell its no production vehicle. There is a BMW plant about 1 hour from here and ivew seen some RHD X5's driving around up there close to it.

What do you think??

After looking around on google and youtube i am convinced this has to be an X6, The spartanburg assembly plant they are supposed to be made at is only about an hour up the road from here. i knew someone on here would know what it was.
Thanks!

This explains it, lol!!!

The real news is the top-of-the-line model known as the xDrive50i. It's the first BMW to use the company's new twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8. Like the smaller inline-6, the all-aluminum V8 uses direct injection to help deliver both efficiency and big power. Rated to produce 400 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, the xDrive50i tops both the supercharged Range Rover Sport and the Porsche Cayenne S in both horsepower and torque. BMW says the xDrive50i will go from zero to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph.
