The new BMW X5 M and new BMW X6 M (fuel consumption combined for

both models: 11.1 l/100 km (25.5 mpg imp); CO 2 emissions combined for

both models: 258 g/km) * see BMW M GmbH setting the pace once again in

the high-performance Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupe

(SAC) segment. When the previous generation of the two cars arrived in

2009, it was the first time the high-performance character distilled by

BMW M GmbH had been transplanted into an all-wheel-drive BMW X model.

The result was class-leading dynamics. The new BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M

pull no punches in writing the next chapter in this success story with another

significant step forward in dynamic excellence, emotionally rich M design and

outstanding efficiency.

The new BMW X5 M and new BMW X6 M combine the characteristic

features of the successful BMW X family – exclusivity, robustness, agility and

everyday usability – with the commitment to high performance that defines an

M car. The latter is resoundingly highlighted by the cars’ impressive

performance figures. Both models complete the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h

(62 mph) in 4.2 seconds in conjunction with the standard eight-speed

M Steptronic transmission.

 

Innovative engine technology.

The new M TwinPower Turbo engine for the BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M is

the most powerful unit ever developed by BMW for an all-wheel-drive vehicle.

Boasting innovative M TwinPower Turbo technology with a pair of TwinScroll

turbochargers, cross-bank exhaust manifolds, VALVETRONIC and High

Precision Direct Petrol Injection, the 4.4-litre V8 produces maximum output of

423 kW/575 hp between 6,000 and 6,500 rpm. That represents a four per

cent increase over the predecessor models. The step up is even clearer when

it comes to the power development of the new engine. Peak torque has been

boosted by 70 Nm (52 lb-ft), which equates to a rise of 10 per cent. Its

750 Nm (553 lb-ft) can be enjoyed across a broad rev range between 2,200

and 5,000 rpm.

 

At the same time, fuel consumption of the new BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M in

the EU cycle has been cut by 20 per cent – from 13.9 l/100 km

(20.3 mpg imp) to 11.1 l/100 km (25.5 mpg imp). CO2 emissions are likewise

down by more than 20 per cent, to 258 g/km. The two models accelerate

 

from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds through the standard eightspeed

M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic. Top speed is limited to

250 km/h (155 mph).

 

Powerful looks and exclusive equipment.

With their striking use of forms, the new BMW X5 M and new BMW X6 M

clearly flag up their sporting ambitions. With their exteriors painted fully in

body colour, both models cut a low-slung figure on the road, while mixed tyres

showcase their sporty track width and lend extra credence to their premium

perception. Numerous exclusive design elements, moreover, elevate the

M models even further than before from the standard BMW X5 and BMW X6.

Large air intakes at the front end, the kidney grille with twin slats, side gills

with a model badge and Air Breathers, M-specific exterior mirrors in twin-stalk

style, a typically M four-tailpipe exhaust system and a rear spoiler (for the

BMW X6 M) give them a standalone look M fans will immediately recognise.

Setting the seal on this exclusive range of features are M-specific 20-inch

light-alloy wheels with mixed tyres or forged 21-inch M light-alloy wheels

(optional).

 

The high-quality interior impresses with its well-thought-through combination

of sporty features, exclusive materials and flawless workmanship. Leather trim

as standard, the M instrument cluster, M leather steering wheel with

aluminium gearshift paddles and M gearshift lever – which works in the same

way as the familiar M Double Clutch Transmission – are complemented by

electrically operated M sports seats for the driver and front passenger, an

M driver’s footrest and the optional Head-Up Display which, in addition to the

standard system, also includes an M-specific display with gear indicator, rev

band and shift lights.

New BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M customers also have the choice between

various options exclusive to the M models, such as 21-inch M light-alloy

wheels, Merino full-leather trim and M multifunction seats. And there’s also a

choice of two new and exclusive M paint finishes.
