Features & Design

Even with enough space for five adults to ride comfortably, the BMW X5 M still provides 33.3 cubic feet of cargo space -- about 3 times the space you might expect to find in the trunk of a typical sports coupe. When you fold down the 40-20-40 split rear seats, you'll reveal more than 70 cubic feet of total cargo space behind the power rear liftgate. Large, bulky items like surfboards and cargo bins can even ride on the standard roof rails for even greater versatility.

Best of all, The BMW X5 M gets a bold look featuring quad M exhaust tips, an M-design spoiler, 21" alloy wheels wrapped in performance tires and Adaptive Full LED headlights for a sharp look and superior visibility at night. This is a serious SUV that won't be mistaken for an ordinary grocery-getter anytime soon.

Technology & Multimedia

With a cutting-edge digital dashboard, the latest iDrive touchscreen multimedia system and Harman Kardon^® premium audio system all as standard equipment, the BMW X5 M can move you even while you're sitting still. Traffic jams are a joy with studio-quality sound from your mobile device through Apple CarPlay™ or Bluetooth^®, satellite radio or HD Radio. Get directions, navigation and vehicle data all right in the video dashboard and forget scanning the shoulder for the speed limit. Standard Speed Limit Info can read speed limit signs for you and store the current limit in the dashboard. Along with premium materials, advanced 4-zone climate controls and comfortable sport-bolstered front seats, the BMW X5 M is a fantastic place to sit -- whether at 90 MPH or crawling 9 car lengths at a time.

Safety & Driver Assistance

On every BMW X5 M, standard Lane Departure Warning, Active Blind Spot Detection and Frontal Collision Warning can lend a hand in busy traffic. With the available Driver Assistant Professional Package, you'll also get adaptive cruise control with Extended Traffic Jam Assistant -- a semi-autonomous self-driving mode that can take the stress out of Los Angeles-area traffic.

All this technology can help you avoid accidents before they happen. In the event of a collision that's unavoidable, you'll be well protected by a durable frame and advanced airbags. If you're in need of assistance, BMW Assist eCall™ includes an Emergency Request SOS button and Enhanced Automatic Collision Notification to get you the help you need in an emergency. For keeping the paint job pristine, Parking Assistant Plus with Surround View Cameras and Active Park Distance Control make it easy to slip into small parking spots or down narrow alleyways.

Sport-Tuned Performance

Under the hood of the BMW X5 M is a mighty twin-turbocharged V8 turning out a truly awe-inspiring 600 horsepower -- or up to 617 with the available Competition Package. All that power is distributed through standard xDrive all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The result? Truly track-ready power that can make steep mountain passes effortless and merging onto the highway a thrill. It'll achieve 0-60 MPH in just 3.8 seconds.

That said, the performance of the BMW X5 is about so much more than mere power. You get more control with standard paddle shifters and launch control, better handling precision and power delivery with the M-tuned electric power steering and M Sport differential. Perhaps best of all, the standard M-tuned chassis and Adaptive M Suspension with Dynamic Damper Control improves every drive. Around town, it ensures a smooth drive that soaks up bumps and cracks in the road. When it's time to carve corners or travel off-road, it dynamically adjusts the suspension for a balanced ride and responsive handling. The BMW X5 M is among the most capable vehicles in this class.
