BMW’s X5 has a history of luxury, performance, and practicality in a single adrenaline-pumping machine. The 2020 BMW X5 M is no different, packing not just the practicality traits of a four-door, family-friendly wagon but also the spirited legs of an Olympian athlete, which is enough to put most supercar owners to shame. Bury the pedal, and it'll rocket you to a 60-mph run in a staggering 3.6 seconds. Of course, it loses none of the M traits, sporting aggressive, quite stealthy looks and the nimbleness of a sports car that makes hard cornering as effortless as a Sunday stroll. Let’s not forget we’re talking about a 5,400-pound SUV with massage chairs, multi-zone climate control, and a spanking Bowers & Wilkins premium sound system that’s enough to drown any outside distractions. However, the list of equipment goes on, both inside and outside, making this X5 M a testament to what a Bimmer stands for.
This X5 M is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, mustering 600 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. The might is channeled by a snappy, eight-speed auto gearbox, spinning all four wheels with precision and power. On the topic of numbers, a 0 to 60 mph feat is achieved in under 3.7 seconds before it maxes out at a ‘ludicrous’ 177 mph courtesy of the M Driver’s package. Still, this X5 benefits from all the M-exclusive goodies, including a sophisticated cooling system for more spirited track action, an Active M differential, a stiffened chassis, a finetuned M-specific suspension system, and massive M compound brakes that ensure the 2.3-ton SUV stops just as well as it goes.
Inside, the X5 M is just like any other Bimmer with a six-figure price tag. Part of that package includes a race-inspired cockpit designed to be a driver’s paradise. The controls are intuitively placed, making the driver feel more at home. What also feels like home are the M multifunctional body-sculpting seats, drenched in a combination of Merino leather and Alcantara upholstery. The soft-touch leather extends towards several cabin trim pieces, including the dash, the M steering wheel, and doors, ensuring a luxurious touch wherever the hand rests. Meanwhile, a 2.5-zone automatic climate control system ensures the entire family rides in perfect luxury and comfort. Additionally, the Bimmer comes equipped with a Bowers & Wilkins premium surround sound system that should make your favorite playlist sound more like a live concert. Still, there’s no ignoring the Sky Lounge (BMW’s keyword for a glass roof) that pairs with the soothing ambient lighting to construct a serene, out-of-this-world atmosphere.
Of course, it isn’t a BMW if its outside doesn’t turn heads more than a supermodel. Quite frankly, the engineers have done a fine job in blending a blond, athletic design with functional aerodynamics that makes this SUV look less like a brick and more like a sleek sports wagon. Up front, it sports the iconic kidney grille, finished in gloss black for a stealthy, aggressive appearance. Meanwhile, flanking it are sleek, state-of-the-art BMW Laser lights that announce its presence from afar. Towards the sides, massive 21-inch M-light alloys peek through, their sharp design adding to the SUV’s overall dominating aesthetics. Finally, at the back, it treats the sights with a roof-mounted spoiler and sleek LED taillamps that offer a modern yet menacing finish to the SUV's athletic build.
Tech-wise, the ’20 BMW X5 M does disappoint. Inside, it hosts a Live Cockpit Professional system with crisp and clear displays, including an instrument cluster and a Control Display. So, features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come equipped, alongside FM/AM radio connectivity for seamless entertainment. Other comfort tech features include multi-way adjustable seats with heated/ventilated/massaging options, ambient lighting, panoramic glass roof, multi-zone climate control, and hands-free tailgate access to make grocery runs less tiring. Meanwhile, on the topic of safety features, the X5 M comes loaded with safety techs like Active Cruise Control, Night Vision system, Lane Departure/Keeping Assist, Rear Traffic Cross Alert, Emergency Stop system, Parking Assistant, and a 3D bird’s eye camera system.
Prices for the 2020 BMW X5 M began at a humbling $106,000 before the optional extras were kicked in. These varied from the $3,600 Executive Package to the $1,700 Driver Assistance Professional Package, featuring all the cutting-edge bells and whistles. Looking forward to a BMW X5 ownership?
