A turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine (617 horsepower, 553 lb-ft of torque) pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, a 48-volt mild hybrid system, and an all-wheel-drive system to provide blistering acceleration accompanied by mystical handling.

  • Surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the X5 M and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

Three option packages are available on the X5 M Competition. They include:

    • Automated lane change assistance (guides the vehicle into the next lane when the turn signal is used)

Which X5 M trim does Edmunds recommend?

BMW offers the X5 M only in Competition specification. It is well equipped right out of the so-called box, with a variety of ways to customize the SUV's appearance. An M Driver's package adds speed, an Executive package dials up luxury, and a Driving Assistance Professional package enhances safety.
