  • 2015 bmw x5 m & x6 m

    BMW has officially unveiled the 2015 X5 M and X6 M, ahead of their debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

    Looking downright menacing, the high-performance crossovers have an aggressive front bumper, a revised grille and aerodynamic side skirts. The models also have ventilated front fenders, aerodynamic side mirrors and 21-inch lightweight alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport UHP tires.
    The sporty styling continues out back as there's a distinctive rear bumper and a diffuser which is flanked by a four-tailpipe sports exhaust system.

    The styling changes continue in the cabin as the models have Merino leather sport seats, a revised instrument cluster and a leather-wrapped M steering wheel with aluminum gearshift paddles. Other highlights include a leather-wrapped dashboard, an Alcantara roof liner, M-brand door sill plates and aluminum trim. If that's not impressive enough, the models also boast contrast stitching, embossed headrests, a four-zone automatic climate control system and a Harman Kardon audio system.

    Both models are powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine that develops 567 bhp (423 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and an M-specific all-wheel drive system which enables them to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mp/h).

    Speaking of performance, the crossovers also have an M Servotronic steering system and a sport-tuned suspension that reduces the ride height by 10mm. There's also a high-performance braking system (with Dark Blue metallic calipers) and a Dynamic Damper Control system with three different modes: Comfort, Sport and Sport+.

    Both models will go on sale in the United States next spring and pricing starts at $99,650 for the X5 M and $103,050 for the X6 M.

      I am sure it should be 155 MPH, but limited fairly low.

        Looks much less aggresive than the last generation IMO. Not entirely a fan

            Still not impressed by the BMW SUV's & whatever you classify the X6 as. It has no function, too small to be an SUV but too awkward to be a car, no head room in the rear etc. It was a terrible drive when i had to fit in the back of one of those when a friend drove a few of us around.
            Both a big pile of meh IMO

              I kind of like the X6 because of the fact that it does not fit in an category and maybe is, in fact actually fairly useless, and as not the biggest fan of SUVs I think it is a car that pokes fun at the segment a little.

                    I think bmw needs to make an suv larger than the x5. Something that is about the size of a q7.

                    From driving my dad's 2013 x5. It drives amazingly and I'm sure these new ones will too. For an suv, these things are ridiculously fast And handle on rails.

                      I've known a few people to attest to this, my boss and his wife were in the market and ended up with a Q5 as they felt the X5 was to harsh of a ride, he said it handled amazing, but the downside was it was way to stiff for regular driving.

                        Exactly my dads thoughts on the x5. I can't decide which I like more the x5(because it's amazing to drive hard) or my moms q7 (which is so comfortable)

                          Apparently the X6 M is no slouch on the track:

                          BMW M project manager Herbert Bayerl has revealed the 2015 X6 M is as fast as the M3 Coupe (E92) on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
                          Bayerl declined to say the model's actual time but the M3 Coupe can complete a lap in 8 minutes and five seconds. This would make the 2015 X6 M about 20 seconds faster than its predecessor.

                          More importantly, if the 8:05 time is correct, the 2015 X6 M would become one of the fastest crossovers to ever lap the Nürburgring. While Nürburgring times are hardly official, Land Rover claimed the 2015 Range Rover Sport SVR was fastest SUV on the Nürburgring when it lapped the Nordschleife in 8 minutes and 14 seconds.

                          As a refresher, the 2015 BMW X6 M has a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine that develops 567 bhp (423 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and an all-wheel drive system which enables it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
