is BMW going to upgrade the X5 6 cylinder engine?
are they going to put that twin turbo 6 into the X? the 230hp 3.0 I6 it has now feels kind of wimpy for a 50k suv.

You're thinking of the old engine. The new 3.0si outputs 265. I imagine they'll want to differentiate between the TT engine in the X6 for a year or two before eventually putting them in the X5.

Do, or do not. There is no 'try'.

Anyone have any news or confirmation that 2009 X5s will be available with the 3 liter twin turbo 6 cyclinder (instead of the rather wimpy normal 6 cyclinder)? Thanks!

I don't believe BMW will put the turbo 6 in the X5. If they do, they lower the MPG of the vehicle by 10%.
Also, the additional cost of the TT3.0 would make it close to the same price as the V8. So why bother?
