X5 M / X6 M [Official] The new BMW X5 M and X6 M


The X5 M is the high-performance variant of the X5. In April 2009, the X6 M version was announced, with a 408 kW (547 hp) version of the BMW S63 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. The BMW X5 M and X6 M are the first vehicles from BMW M GmbH to have xDrive all-wheel-drive system and automatic transmissions, and are also crossovers as opposed to passenger cars.
Funny how BMW M is going for the aggressive look while AMG is going the other direction.
 
I've prepared a table for comparing German performance SUVs.

Wow they look much much better than the standard models! Very very nice indeed!
 
The X6M looks surprisingly good. Great job, BMW. Very glad to see the torque converter auto making its way back in.

Peak power is higher but also sustained for 500 rpm longer.
 
Wooaahhhhhh! Blistering performance! 4.2 0-100!?!?!?
It's really surprising how good these cars look considering the sh!t they're based on.
Another proof that you can give the M-Treatment to anything and it will look splendid!
Both cars look brutal yet I prefer the more conventional/less silly(goofy) looking X5M.
Is it the lower stance... the new grille, bumper or whatever that makes such a difference!?
I'm wow'ed!

PS: The new colors are a pleasure for the eye. I'd take the less in your face Donington Grey tho.

EDIT: Forgot to mention... THAT INTERIOR in the X6M... best BMW interior in ages!
Perfect mix of sporty and cozy. Modern yet conservative enough.
 
WOW! Amazing! I just sold my X5M E70, it's one brutal car. Can't imagine how fast this one will be.
 
Huge improvement over the last generation! It actually looks as good as a great facelift to the current generation! Kudos to ///M. (y)
 
Like it. Does the US version come standard with 21" rims? It only mentions 21" rims in US press release.

"Setting the seal on this exclusive range of features are standard M-specific, forged 21-inch M light-alloy wheels."
 

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
