Post a Comment

The 2024 BMW X5 and X6 M Competition models have become the only full-fledged M variants of the SUVs, with the regular M being discontinued.

 The 2024 BMW X5 and X6 M Competition models have received a light refresh, including updates to styling and interiors, as well as a hybrid assist powertrain. Interestingly, the Competition models are now the only full-fledged M variants of the SUVs, with the regular M being discontinued. Performance-wise, the new models are nearly unchanged compared to the previous Competition versions.

Both the X5 and X6 come equipped with a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine producing 617 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, which is the same as last year's models. The significant difference is the addition of a 48-volt hybrid assist motor in the eight-speed automatic transmission, which provides 12 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque. This assists with setting off from a standstill and stop-start functions. The 0-to-60-mph acceleration time remains 3.7 seconds for both vehicles, with top speed limited to 155 mph. However, the M Driver's Package raises the top speed to 177 mph.

Chassis upgrades are similar to the previous Competition models, with additional bracing for increased rigidity, retuned adjustable shocks, and electronically controlled rear limited-slip differential. The brakes remain the same, with 15.6-inch drilled rotors and six-piston calipers up front, and 15-inch vented rotors with single-piston calipers at the back. The driver can also customize the user modes.

The visual updates to the X5 and X6 M Competition models are consistent with those of the standard models, including slimmed-down lights, adjusted front kidney grilles, and added black accents. The interiors have been updated with a curved dual-display for instruments and infotainment, as well as ambient light strips with crystal patterns. Carbon fiber trim is standard on the M Competition models.

Production of the X5 and X6 M Competition models will begin in April, with a public debut scheduled for the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. The X5 will start at $123,295, while the X6 will begin at $128,195.
