The new BMW X5 M and BMW X5 M Competition. The new BMW X6 M and BMW X6 M Competition.Short version.

BMW M GmbH is unveiling the third generation of its high-performance executive-class Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) models. The new BMW X5 M (fuel consumption combined:
13.0 – 12.8 l/100 km [21.7 – 22.1 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined:

296 – 291 g/km), new BMW X5 M Competition (fuel consumption combined: 13.0 – 12.8 l/100 km [21.7 – 22.1 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined:
296 – 291 g/km), new BMW X6 M (fuel consumption combined:
12.7 – 12.5 l/100 km [22.2 – 22.6 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined:

289 – 284 g/km) and new BMW X6 M Competition (fuel consumption combined: 12.7 – 12.5 l/100 km [22.2 – 22.6 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 289 – 284 g/km) capture the imagination with their classical
M genes, which deliver handling agility, dynamism and precision unmatched in their class. Their superior performance attributes combine with the versatility, extrovert design and modern luxury for which BMW X models

are renowned.

A V8 engine developing up to 460 kW/625 hp, precisely controlled power transfer, an M-specific chassis – tailored to both the engine’s performanceprofile and the SAV / SAC vehicle concept – and design features taken
from the M playbook ensure imposing power and supremely controllable handling, even at the dynamic limits. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is dispatched in just 3.9 seconds (Competition models: 3.8 seconds) –which is up to 0.4 seconds faster than the outgoing models. The intoxicating all-round performance package benefits from fine-tuning carried out

during intensive testing at the BMW Group’s proving grounds, the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and other race tracks. The new BMW X5 M,
new BMW X6 M and Competition models will celebrate their show premieres at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2019 ahead of a market launch beginning in April 2020.

Significant power hike: high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology developing up to 460 kW/625 hp.
M TwinPower Turbo technology and the appetite for revs shared by all
M models give the latest-generation V8 engine fitted in the new BMW X5 M, new BMW X6 M and Competition models an unmistakable performance profile. Its headline character traits are instant response to the slightest

movement of the accelerator, precisely controllable power delivery and a linear wave of power into the upper echelons of the rev range under full throttle.

The 4.4-litre engine teams up with two turbochargers – positioned in the “V”between the cylinder banks – whose impact is further enhanced by a cross- bank exhaust manifold. The power unit’s maximum output of 441 kW/600 hp exceeds that of the predecessor models by 18 kW/25 hp; the Competition models add 37 kW/50 hp to hit a figure of 460 kW/625 hp. Torque, meanwhile, peaks at 750 Nm (553 lb-ft). A super-stiff engine mounting results in direct transmission of power to the drivetrain, and the sports exhaust system generates a soundtrack of particular emotional richness.

Precise power transfer: eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, M xDrive and Active M Differential.
The high-performance engine in the new BMW X5 M, new BMW X6 M and Competition models teams up with an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, whose gearshift characteristics can be adjusted using the Drivelogic button on the M-specific selector lever. The M xDrive all-wheel- drive system has been specially tuned to transfer drive to the road with characteristic élan and to optimise traction and directional stability on loose ground and in adverse weather conditions. M xDrive works in tandem with

the Active M Differential at the rear axle and already displays a conspicuous rear-wheel bias in the default 4WD setting. However, the driver can also dip into the Setup menu to select 4WD Sport mode, in which an even greaterproportion of the engine’s torque is directed to the rear wheels.

M-specific chassis, integrated braking system.

The new high-performance additions to the SAV and SAC segments are fitted with extensive measures to optimise the stiffness of the body structure and suspension mountings. The model-specific design and tuning of the chassis technology also helps enhance handling precision. Standard specification includes M-specific adaptive suspension with electronically controlled dampers, the active roll stabilisation system and M Servotronic steering. The version of the integrated braking system developed for BMW M models presents the driver with two settings for brake pedal feel.

Extrovert design, variable-use interior, luxurious ambience.

The combination of typical SAV / SAC proportions with signature M design features lends the BMW X5 M, BMW X6 M and Competition models an extrovert appearance exuding supreme authority in any environment. Large air intakes, M gills on the front side panels, aerodynamically optimised exterior mirrors, a roof/rear spoiler, a rear apron with diffuser elements and the two pairs of exhaust tailpipes lay the technical platform required to deliver

standout performance. The Competition models come with distinctive design highlights, among them exclusive M light-alloy wheels in 21-inch format at the front axle and 22-inch at the rear.

Once inside, the generously sized, variable-usage interior, raised seating position, high-quality materials and a level of build quality defined by precision workmanship radiate an aura of luxury. The classy, contemporary style of the cabin is complemented by displays and controls with the familiar M treatment, which help to sharpen the driver’s focus on the ultra-sporting driving experience at their fingertips.

Operating system creates intense M feeling; exclusive standard equipment.
A Setup button on the centre console enables direct access to the settings for the engine, dampers, steering, M xDrive and braking system. Two individually composed variants of this M setup can be stored and called up at any time by pressing one of the two red M buttons on the steering wheel. Added to which, the information shown in the instrument cluster and Head-Up Display and the functionality of the driver assistance systems
can both be varied using the M Mode button on the centre console.

The exclusive selection of equipment fitted as standard includes the
BMW Head-Up Display with M-specific readouts, M multifunction seats, BMW Individual fine-grain Merino full leather trim, BMW Live Cockpit Professional with navigation system, BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant and Parking Assistant. Available from the options list, meanwhile, are an array of advanced driver assistance systems and exclusive options designed to further enhance comfort and individuality.

X5M>>>>>X6M by a country-mile, and that's coming from somebody who's a derriere aficianado.

Also, yeah, that looks sinister as hell under-hood, or under-bonnet for my olde country folks.

 

[hovabongZA]

Probably going to be in the minority here, but I prefer the looks of the X6M over the X5. Those quads look so much better on the X6M. The centre console and engine bay are a work of art.

 

[CrunchSlaughtered]

Today I don't feel like reading. Does it have the RWD only function of the MxDrive?

 

[hovabongZA]

Sad thing about this is that will only see reviews of this car in a month or two, unlike Vag, where you see reviews a week after launch.

This is from Autocar - "This being a full-fat M model, there's also substantial chassis upgrades. Alongside the Active M differential, the xDrive all-wheel drive gives a rear-biased power delivery, with even more power shifted to the rear in the 4WD Sport drive mode."

This view of the new X5M looks really menacing, imagine seeing this in your rear view mirror, it will give anyone a heart attack and quickly move over!! I love the aggressive front intakes and rear diffuser with massive quad round tail pipes.

Really fantastic looking wheels

Love this brown and black leather combo, with carbon fibre/brushed aluminium look trim, its very classy and upmarket.

Massive suspension/engine brace a work of art.

This doesn't answer my question. MxDrive has two variants of AWD one more balanced and one with more bias to the rear axle, but I'm curious to know if it has the function of powering the rear axle only

In the press release @Betty Swollocks shared above there is only talk about 4WD and 4WD Sport modes ... so I would expect, that they left out the 2WD mode of the F90 ... which makes imho perfectly sense for an X model.

 

[martinbo]

It's obvious that there will be no RWD-only mode.

X5M over X6M all day, every day...

In the video where Matthias Malmedie is driving the X6 M it drifts very well, so it either has the 2WD mode or the sport mode sends a lot of power to the rear wheels anyway.

Probably 4WD sports mode which, semi disables the traction for controlled drifts ...the 2nd last option in the M5 before the 2WD mode.

X5 M50i will be a very compelling (and more comfortable/practical) value offering at 390kW, 4.4sec and almost identical torque.

 

[hovabongZA]

Urban green.

 

[klier]

Damn, an Urban Green X5 M Competitions is beyond fantastic.

I'd pick one over the current M5 any day of the week. Maybe that'll change with the facelift of the 5er, but for now it's perfectly clear. X5 M pleazzze.

I wonder what you think will be more comfortable/practical compared to the M version. I think this will be identical or near identical. Practicality is of course 100% the same, comfort well over 90% most likely.

Also LOL at people asking for RWD versions. This is a 2400 kg SUV. Who wants RWD mode, and for what exactly?
