I know it wasn't done by the M division, so that alone maybe the reason?
If you kept the HP per liter the same as the M5 then the X5is would have 370hp. The torque from each of the engines is very much the same.

BMW said the reason it wasn't badged M is because M cars are rear wheel drive manual trans cars. The truck did not handle like an M car should either according to BMW. Hope that helps.
