555 hp for the fastes X5


the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m for the original time carry over the
high-performance character of those very special cars from bmw m gmbh
into the segment of bmw x models. indeed , the combination of bmw’s m
philosophy with this modern concept paves the way for a rightfully
exclusive driving experience , both models setting modern standards in
their lesson in terms of dynamic performance borne out by supreme
acceleration , lateral dynamics , steering behaviour , short stopping
distances and efficacy , that is all the standards customarily
necessary to motorsport.

• the superior driving qualities of the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m
are clearly visualised by particular bmw m design: the bmw x5 m offers
the convincing look of strength and exclusivity , the bmw x6 m ,
through its plot , reflects smashing dynamism and athletic performance.
standard plot elements at the front of each mannequin bear clear
allusion to the dynamic driving potential shared by both cars , while
within the interior a rightfully luxuriant ambience forms a perfect
symbiosis with the cockpit plot customarily typical of a bmw m
mannequin. the fundamental message in creating the interior plot in
each case is to ruminate the rightfully smashing dynamism of both
models in superior fad.

• both the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m come with a modern v8
high-performance strength unit boasting performance physiognomy exactly
tailor-made to the character of each mannequin. displacing 4 , 395
cubic centimeters , the engine delivers maximum output of 408 kw/555 hp
from 5 , 750–6 , 000 rpm. the modern m twinpower turbo engine is indeed
the world’s original strength unit with a standard tire emission
manifold joining both rows of cylinders as customarily as twin scroll
twin turbo engineering. the turbocharger and the catalytic converters
are positioned in the v-section between the two rows of cylinders
ensuring the spontaneous and instruct retort customarily typical of bmw
m as customarily as a linear surge of strength for a consistent pour of
torque at all times. as a result , peak torque of 680 newton-metres or
501 lb-ft is maintained consistently all the way from 1 , 500–5 , 650
rpm.

• over and above their superior driving dynamics , both models
offer by far the highest flat of efficacy in their respective segments.
in addition to the strength unit optimised for efficacy by means of
¬high precision injection , proven and newly developed bmw
¬efficientdynamics technologies serve to warrant this superiority in
custom. these cutting-edge technologies comprise brake strength
regeneration as customarily as on-demand control of the electrical fuel
pump , the removable a/c compressor and the volume flow-controlled
grant of hydraulic liquid to the anti-roll system introduced for the
original time upon the modern bmw 7 sequence. and last but not least ,
both models naturally comply with the eu5 and , respectively , the lev
ii emission standards.

• the m sports automatic transmission with six gears , optimised
gear Lever dynamics and smashing gear Lever comfort confirms the
sporting orientation of both models. the modern torque reduction
concept is achieved by briefly canceling out fuel injection and
ignition for extremely short gear Lever times. the driver himself
shifts gears either via an electronic gear selector lever or , provided
he prefers , through aluminium shift paddles upon the steering wheel
again particular to bmw m. at the same time he may spontaneously
intercede into the gear Lever process whenever he wishes by operating
one of the paddles similarly in the d fad. the launch control function
for maximum acceleration , in rotate , may similarly be activated in
the m fad , while in the strength fad , finally , the driver may vary
the engine and transmission control , using either the sport or the
efficacy driving programs.

• performance and fuel consumption of the bmw x5 m and bmw x6 m:

acceleration 0–100 km/h: 4.7 seconds

top speed: 250 km/h (155 mph) (275 km/h (171 mph) with optional

m driver’s package)

average fuel consumption in the eu cycle: 13.9 litres/100 kilometres

(equal to 20.3 mpg imp) , co2 emissions in the eu cycle: 325 g/km.

• the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m are the original all-wheel-drive
models built by bmw m gmbh , combining bmw xdrive and dynamic
performance control with all the particular requirements and qualities
of a high-performance vehicle in typical m fad. the characteristic
highlight of both models is their smashing driving dynamics combined
with supreme driving stability and excellent traction. driving
happiness is farther enhanced by a flat of agility unparalleled in this
segment and the unusually neutral steering behaviour.

• intelligent all-wheel ride ensures variable distribution of ride
strength front–to-rear. dynamic performance control , in rotate ,
varies the distribution of strength between the two raise wheels and
allows particularly dynamic acceleration when leaving a bend. bmw
xdrive , dynamic performance control , dynamic stability control (dsc)
, servotronic and adaptive ride are all coordinated by integrated
chassis management (icm) as the central control unit. the result is an
unusually high standard of driving dynamics and motoring safety in
terms of agility , traction and driving stability.

• the servotronic steering developed specifically for the bmw x5 m
and the bmw x6 m provides individual steering help linked to the speed
of the car and varied by two control maps. substantial steering abet at
low speeds , for sample , allows comfortable parking manoeuvres , while
exact feedback through higher control forces at higher speeds ensures a
superior fad of motoring and greater steering precision when traveling
fleet. apart from the standard contour of the servotronic steering ,
the driver is similarly able to roar up the sports fad by means of the
edc or m ride button , activating an uncompromisingly sporting control
map for particularly dynamic requirements.

• the suspension with its double-track control arm front axle and
the integral iv raise axle comes with elastokinematics again boasting
all the physiognomy of bmw m. both the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m come
as standard with air suspension and self-levelling upon the raise axle
as customarily as adaptive ride with electronically adjustable dampers
(edc) and agile anti-roll control. the newly developed three-way abet
mounts grant both the suspension and dampers a particularly touchy
retort , and pressing either the edc or the m ride button the driver is
able to pick either the normal or sports damper setting as customarily
as the servotronic control map. the special contour of edc and
anti-roll control tailor-made again to bmw m ensures a linear build-up
of lateral forces in fleet and dynamic bends. and the high-performance
brake system in lightweight technology , to mention yet another sample
, offers superior stopping strength with virtually no fading and
optimum control of the brakes.

• the m dynamic fad (mdm) activated by the dsc button raises the
control thresholds for intervention by the brakes and the reduction of
engine strength and provides that typical steering behaviour
customarily characteristic of bmw m by shifting ride strength to the
raise in the xdrive setting and interacting customarily with dynamic
performance control. mdm hence allows maximum speeds in bends plus
unrestricted safety when driving to the extreme. in the process the car
body absolutely neutral in following the steering , allowing the driver
to take flat fleet bends in a controlled drift under maximum load in
the bend apex.

• both the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m come with a special body
structure designed and built for maximum occupant safety. the occupants
are protected among other matters by three-point inertia-reel seat
belts upon all seats , six airbags – frontal , side and head airbags –
as customarily as crash-activated headrests at the front. bi-xenon dual
headlights including a daytime driving light function , adaptive brake
lights and 20-inch light-alloy rims with different-sized runflat tyres
front and raise all come as standard.

• modern driver help bodies raise the superior driving experience
in the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m to an flat higher flat of perfection.
these bodies include , as an option , bmw’s head-up manifest again
tailor-made to bmw m , adaptive headlights , and a high-beam assistant.
and to complement park distance control featured as standard , there is
similarly an optional back-up camera finish with a top con function.

• the driver-oriented interior of the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m
comes with m seats , an m leather steering wheel and an m footrest , as
customarily as the m-specific cockpit including an implement cluster
with a variable pre-warning field in the rev counter , particular
vehicle function displays , and white illumination of the manifest
units.

• the bmw x5 m and the bmw x6 m both feature the latest generation
of bmw idrive control serving to mastermind the navigation ,
infotainment , air conditioning and communication functions as
customarily as the m ride menu. the latter – the m ride menu –
comprises the varied edc settings including servotronic , dsc , the
strength fad , and the optional head-up manifest enabling the user to
save his favorite contour then retrieved by the m ride button upon the
steering wheel.

• high-quality materials and upholstery from the wide range of bmw
individual , numerous comfort functions and modern entertainment
options all underline the exclusive , m-specific character of both
models. standard physiognomy include electric seat adjustment finish
with a reminiscence function and seat heating at the front , two-zone
automatic air conditioning , the bmw individual implement panel with
leather padding , merino leather covering extra surfaces and well-bred
physiognomy , m entry well-bred , the m footrest , interior well-bred
bars in brushed aluminium shadow , as customarily as automatic
performance of the tailgate upon the bmw x6 m. optional physiognomy
include the professional navigation system , the bmw individual high
aim audio system , four-zone automatic air conditioning , the
m-specific head-up manifest , merino leather all spherical , agile seat
ventilation as customarily as a panorama glass roof (bmw x5 m) or ,
respectively , an electrically pace glass roof (bmw x6 m). and last but
not least , the bmw x5 m is available with a towbar including an
electrically swivelling ball head , while the bmw x6 m comes as an
option with a towbar incorporating a removable ball head. maximum
trailer load in each case is a meaningful three tonnes.
