The sales launch of the BMW X5 M and X6 M has begun, and these are their prices for Spain

Both the BMW X5 M and the X6 M could be said to have been among the last live presentations held before the strong restrictions and consequences of COVID-19, but this has not caused BMW’s plans to be delayed with its sportier SUVs and, finally, we can announce that their sales launch kicks off in Spain.

With the BMW X5 M we get the classic body of an SUV, while the X6 M features coupé-style lines, but for both of these more performance-oriented variants they offer a much more imposing and sporty look thanks to the styling and aerodynamic kit applied by BMW’s M division. Together, you get a front bumper and larger air intakes, 21-inch alloy wheels and chrome inserts for the exterior and the exhaust tailpipes. It is also worth adding that the BMW X6 M also features a rear spoiler painted in the same colour you have chosen for the bodywork.

Both models come in their respective Competition version, with sportier characteristics and a logically differentiating look that reflects their greater character. In this way, on the exterior, both models are distinguished by 21-inch alloy wheels on the front axle and 22-inch wheels on the rear axle, black inserts and mirror caps, a colour also used for the rear badge, the upper part of the rear diffuser and the exhaust tips.

Once you step inside, the BMW X5 M and X6 M greet you with elegance and technology blended with those sporty touches provided by M, which complement each other perfectly. On the so-called basic models, you get chrome door sill trims, and Merino leather upholstery from the BMW Individual catalogue comes as standard. For the respective Competition versions, the door sill trims change to M Black, while the upholstery is full Merino leather with sections in Alcántara from BMW Individual, and, finally, Active Guard seat belts are fitted as standard.

Under the bonnet of the BMW X5 M and X6 M, the same 4,400 cc V8 petrol engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology is used, which delivers 600 CV of power together with 750 Nm of torque. This output rises to 625 CV in the Competition versions while keeping the same torque, allowing them to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds in the basic version and in 3.8 seconds with the Competition version. In both cases, you get an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic gearbox with Drivelogic, which sends the power to all four wheels thanks to the intelligent M xDrive system, supported by the active M differential.
