Take BMW’s popular Sports Activity Vehicle® and Sports Activity Coupe.™ Add the awesome power and handling of BMW M engineering. What you get is the X5 M and X6 M: vehicles to delight those in search of athletic prowess with amazing grip.

On sale in September, both models harness the latest M power masterpiece: an innovative 4.4-liter M designed turbo V-8 engine that delivers a staggering 555 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. The advanced M Sport Automatic Transmission lets you choose between three modes – Drive, Sport and M Manual – for total control over gear selection. Coupled with exhilarating M paddle shifters on the steering wheel, it’s enough track-inspired technology to put grins on the faces of daily commuters and M Vehicle fans alike.

In both vehicles, BMW’s xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system has been paired with Dynamic Performance Control, which selectively boosts torque to either of the two rear wheels. M engineers have further enhanced this system to deliver increased feedback to the driver. The payoff: all-wheel-drive control, with a decidedly more rear-wheel-drive road feel.
