The racetrack-proven cooling system in the M TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine includes four water pumps, six radiators, and a dedicated transmission cooler. So you can unleash 600 hp in the BMW X5 M – or 617 hp with the Competition model – with total confidence.
The 8-speed M STEPTRONIC automatic transmission delivers sharper gear changes using the adjustable Drivelogic shift points. Manual shifting with the steering wheel paddle shifters allow you to take complete control.
The standard M Sport Differential transmits torque and continuously sets an optimal degree of lock between the rear wheels. The result is dynamic acceleration and superior traction for controlled driving in all conditions.
The standard Adaptive M Suspension Professional offers precise steering response and high body rigidity with adjustable drive modes. Pick between COMFORT, SPORT, or SPORT+ to go from a relaxed ride to a spirited adventure.
The latest iDrive 7.0 Operating System with standard BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant allow for easy control of extensive infotainment, safer navigation, vehicle settings, and more.
Enjoy the endless convenience of intuitive driving features and proactive safety systems in the All-New BMW X5 M.
Innovative camera/radar-based driver assistance systems that provide partly-automated support will always be at your side to deliver peace of mind. Features include Traffic Jam Assist; Steering and Lane Control Assistant that now includes support for narrow road sections; Emergency Stop Assistant to bring the vehicle to a stop in case of a health emergency; and Evasion Aid to assist in critical approach situations by reacting to vehicles and pedestrians in front of you. Important: This feature is not a substitute for the driver's own responsibility. Due to road, traffic and visibility conditions, the driver decides whether and how the system is used.
Night Vision uses state-of-the-art infrared technology combined with black-and-white imaging to see things before they are visible to the naked eye. Using a thermal imaging camera mounted in the lower air dam, Night Vision recognizes people, animals, and objects based upon the heat they emit. The warmer the object, the brighter it illuminates on the iDrive display monitor. The Pedestrian Detection feature recognizes and indicates individual pedestrians on or near the roadway at a range up to 330 feet. The system only works during night hours, and it must be cooler than 95-degrees Fahrenheit.
