M VALUES SET STAN DARDS BEYOND COMPARE.
It is one of the most coveted car badges of all: the M logo. Every vehicle that carries it represents a pure expression of our values: seemingly never-ending acceleration across the entire rev range, thrilling agility and outstanding tracking stability through every bend. The BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M champion the classic M characteristic driving dynamics, introducing M tuning into a new model range. M now sets the benchmark in this class too.
THE M TWIN POWER TURBO ENGINE.
A world premiere sits under the bonnet of the BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M. For the first time, the M-typical linear power curve meets the formidable thrust of twin turbocharging – in BMW’s most powerful production engine, the M TwinPower Turbo. This high-performance V8 engine delivers maximum torque of 680Nm and an output of 555hp to power both vehicles from 0-62mph in only 4.7 seconds.
