COMPETITION MODELS FOR X5 M/X6 M

Not content with the power output of your BMW X5 M or X6 M? Well, now you can order the Competition variant of the third-generation highperformance executive-class Sports Activity Vehicle and Sports Activity Coupe models from Munich.

Both the X5 and X6 M Competition models feature ultra-high-rigidity mountings for the engine and cooling and oil supply systems tuned for top-level performance. Power from its 4.4-litre V8 Twinpower Turbo engine is hiked significantly. Output is raised by 37 kw over its predecessors to 466 kw and peak torque is 750 Nm, and its sports exhaust system delivers an emotionally stirring soundtrack.

Power is channelled through an eightspeed M Steptronic transmission to the M xdrive all-wheel-drive system with Active M Differential and rear-biased setup that can be adjusted for 4WD and 4WD Sport modes. All this bestow the

X5 M Competition with an 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds (3.8 seconds for the X6 M Competition) – up to 0.4 seconds faster than their predecessors. The pair is endowed with M-specific adaptive suspension, active roll stabilisation, M Servotronic steering and DSC (Dynamic

Stability Control) including M Dynamic Mode and wears standard 21-inch M lightalloy wheels in front, with 22-inch boots at the rear.

Inside, the M-specific cockpit include BMW Live Cockpit Professional, Intelligent Personal Assistant, Parking Assistant, M multifunction seats and BMW Individual fine-grain Merino full leather trim as standard. Two M Mode driving setups – Road and Sport, plus Track – can be selected using M buttons on the steering wheel. Both Competition models will be available overseas from April 2020, and locally late next year.
