Dominant sportiness and an extrovert appearance characterize the exterior design of the new BMW X5 M Competition and the new BMW X6 M Competition. The redesigned front view in particular contributes to the increased presence. Both models now have new Matrix LED headlights with cornering lights and anti-glare BMW Selective Beam high beam. The headlight units have a contour that is 35 millimeters flatter than the previous version. They are also optionally available as M Shadow Line lights. The BMW kidney is now completely black. Horizontal kidney grille slats and enlarged model lettering set distinctive accents. In addition, the BMW kidney grille and the central lower air intake now form a common x-shaped area in black. The clear design language and the independent proportions of the two models are expressed in the side view. Your exterior mirror caps and the rear spoiler of the BMW X6 M Competition are optionally available in carbon. In both models, a striking diffuser insert closes the rear apron at the bottom. It also provides a high-quality frame for the two characteristic pairs of twin tailpipes in the exhaust system. An additional eye-catcher at the rear of the new BMW X5 M Competition are the X-shaped light guide elements of its tail and brake lights.

With the latest generation of drive technology for the new BMW X5 M Competition and the new BMW X6 M Competition, 48-volt technology is being used for the first time in the brand's high-performance automobiles. An electric motor, which is integrated into the compact housing of the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission and also acts as a crankshaft starter generator, supplies additional drive power of up to 9 kW/12 hp and a torque of 200 Nm. The energy required for this is supplied by a 48-volt battery housed in the engine compartment. It is charged in a particularly efficient manner using adaptive recuperation during overrun and braking phases. The 48-volt technology is combined with a new M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. the 4, In addition to the exhaust manifold across the cylinder banks, the 4-litre engine now also has a reinforced crank drive, a further developed turbocharger, a new intake air duct and optimized oil supply and oil separation. It makes its maximum torque of 750 Nm available between 1,800 and 5,800 rpm. The maximum output of 460 kW/625 hp is reached at 6,000 rpm. The optimized response behavior and the high-revving concept of the V8 engine, together with the support provided by the electric motor, ensure that the typical M performance characteristics reach an even more fascinating level. The new BMW X5 M Competition and the new BMW X6 M Competition both need 3.9 seconds to sprint from a standing start to 100 km/h. In addition, the increased temperament of the drive system is also clearly noticeable during intermediate sprints. The standard M sports exhaust system with electrically controlled flaps enriches the performance experience with an emotionally powerful engine sound. New catalytic converters contribute to the optimized emission behavior of the combustion engine.
The engine transmits its drive torque to a new version of the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, which offers a choice of three shift programs in both automated and manual mode. The innovations include, among other things, a modified transmission tuning and increased shifting dynamics.
