BMW Rolls Out Redesigned Stylish Models: X5 M And X6 M

Automotive ingenuity has been at the forefront of BMW and the company gets ready to release two redesigned models of the X5 M and X6 M that mix power, functionality and efficiency.

The previous generation of the two cars arrived in 2009, it was the first time the high-performance character distilled by BMW M GmbH had been transplanted into an all-wheel-drive BMW X model. The result was class-leading dynamics.

"The new BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M pull no punches in writing the next chapter in this success story with another significant step forward in dynamic excellence, emotionally rich M design and outstanding efficiency," according to BMW.

The new BMW X5 M and new BMW X6 M combine the characteristic features of the successful BMW X family - exclusivity, robustness, agility and everyday usability - with the commitment to high performance that defines an M car.

The latter is resoundingly highlighted by the cars' impressive performance figures. Both models complete the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds in conjunction with the standard eight-speed M Steptronic transmission.

Look for the new models to be unveiled at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show alongside the BMW 2 Series Convertible.
