The big SUV from BMW received an M-Technik implant in 2014. The Motorsport department developed the most powerful engine for an all-wheel-drive BMW ever and installed it in the X5. First, it took the 4.4-liter V8 gasoline engine and then plugged a pair of TwinScroll turbocharges, cross-bank exhaust manifolds, VALVETRONIC and High Precision Direct Gasoline Injection system. The result is a total output of 575 hp and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. To send this energy to the wheels, M engineers installed a newly developed 8-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox.
From the outside, a new aerodynamic package was added. Large air intakes at the front end, side gills with a model badge and air breathers, signature M exterior mirrors in twin-stalk style, a typically M four-tailpipe exhaust system give it a standalone look M fans will immediately recognize. Setting the seal on this exclusive range of features are M-specific 20-inch light-alloy wheels with mixed tires or forged 21-inch M light-alloy wheels (optional).
The interior is fit for a high-performance vehicle, even if it is an SUV. As with all cars from the BMW brand, the design of the interior prioritizes intuitive usability. Also, M GmbH makes its own distinctive mark here. For example, the BMW X5 M come with a newly developed, ergonomically optimized M leather steering wheel with gearshift paddles, while the M gearshift lever has an equally distinctive design. The instrument cluster, M Drive menu in the information display, displays in the optional Head-Up Display and special multifunction switch with M Drive buttons on the steering wheel also fit the M template.
