Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

[Uygar]

I mean in essence this would be an LWB X7 right?

More like X5 2XL

More like X5 2XL

Or the car that should have been the X7 to begin with.

There is no way to extend the X5 even further. It would have to become a lot wider and taller too, to offset the extra length. So all in all that would mean a different car with bigger wheelbase and the whole 9 yards. Essentially what the 7er is to a 5er.

Will the G90/G99 LCI have S68 + Plug-in-Hybrid or it’ll be a Mild-Hybrid?

The X5M and X6M are mild hybrids. They made them plug-in in M5 because they wanted to sell the M5 G90/G99 when EURO7 comes into effect.

True, so for the LCI G90 are they keeping the PHEV system?

This together with a G wagon like offroader would make for a wild lineup of SUV cars holy smokes. They'd literally have everything.

BMW M revises drive technology – readying the BMW M5 and BMW XM Label high-performance models for the Euro 7 emissions standard.

From 2027, new emissions and exhaust regulations will come into force in the EU. These will require comprehensive technical upgrades, especially for high-performance vehicles like the BMW M5 and BMW XM. BMW M is responding to these requirements at an early stage, introducing optimised drive technology for the BMW M5 from March 2026 and for the BMW XM Label from April 2026. This applies to all EU countries as well as countries outside the EU that follow EU directives on emissions compliance.

The technical advances are focused on the M Hybrid system’s internal combustion engine. Key elements include optimised engine control, improved exhaust re-treatment and introduction of the Miller combustion process, which makes for increased efficiency and reduces emissions. The output of the V8 engine in the BMW M5 is adjusted from the previous 430 kW/585 hp to 400 kW/544 hp. The electric drive remains unchanged, but now comes with optimised software. The perfect interplay of the two powertrain elements ensures that the system output of the BMW M5 remains unchanged at 535 kW/727 hp (BMW M5 Sedan: energy consumption, weighted, combined: 17.7–17.3 kWh/100 km and 5.2–4.9 l/100 km (WLTP); CO2 emissions, weighted, combined: 118–113 g/km (WLTP); CO2 classes: with discharged battery G, weighted, combined D–C; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 10.7–10.5 l/100 km (WLTP); BMW M5 Touring: energy consumption, weighted, combined: 18.1–17.7 kWh/100 km and 5.5–5.2 l/100 km (WLTP); CO2 emissions, weighted, combined: 124–118 g/km (WLTP); CO2 classes: with discharged battery G, weighted, combined D; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 11.0–10.7 l/100 km (WLTP))1. This makes for continued dynamic performance at the highest level.

The 4.4-litre V8 unit in the BMW XM Label (energy consumption, weighted, combined: 25.7 kWh/100 km and 5.3 l/100 km (WLTP); CO2 emissions, weighted, combined: 121 g/km (WLTP); CO2 classes: with discharged battery G, weighted, combined D; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 12.9 l/100 km (WLTP))1 will also benefit from the Miller combustion process. With its system output unchanged at 550 kW/748 hp, the BMW XM Label remains the most powerful BMW M production model. By taking this action, BMW M ensures that its customers have consistent access to state-of-the-art high-performance vehicles that meet future environmental requirements with innovative technology, even under volatile regulatory conditions. Without compromising on the characteristic BMW M performance.

BMW model updates, spring 2026.

+++ Reduced consumption and increased range for BMW iX1 and BMW iX2 +++ BMW iX3 option for faster charging +++ BMW M5 and BMW XM Label prepared for future Euro 7 emissions standard +++ Tyre repair kit Plus now standard for models like BMW X3, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé and BMW 5 Series Sedan +++

So they're reducing the power of the V8 and increasing the power of the e-motors to maintain the same output?

The alleged rugged SUV was a big 7-seater, so even bigger than the G-Wagon. Apparently they were testing it with Rivian models.

No. The power of the electric motor will remain the same. It's just that the M5 EURO7 will be slower than the old EURO6.

They have Rivians in Munich at the FIZ.

Press release seems to suggest total system output will remain at 737hp...

Optional 7 seater. It's not that big really.

There is no X9 planned though. At least not as of today.
