BMW X5M and X6M coming to India soon

BMW will soon launch the new X5M and X6M in India. The two high powered SUVs will go straight up against the GL63 and ML63 AMG SUVs from Mercedes-Benz and will be imported directly into India as a CBU. Expect the prices for both cars to be between Rs 1.5 Crore to Rs 2.0 Crore and to find a few takers in India. The X5M and X6M will expand BMW’s M lineup that currently includes the likes of the M3, M4, M5 and the recently relaunched M6 Gran Coupe.

Starting with the mechanical aspects, as expected, BMW has fitted the huge 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 engine in it that gives it 575PS of peak power mated to an all-wheel drive system and an eight speed gearbox into both the X5M and the X6M. Both cars also get adjustable suspension with many settings, a sports exhaust and huge M-spec brakes. Both the SUVs also ride much lower than their regular counterparts and run on huge 21-inch wheels. The X5M and the X6M also get lot more cooling options due to the larger engines.

On the exterior front, the X5M and X6M are instantly recognizable. Both cars are slightly wider due to flared fenders that need to accommodate the huge wheels and tyres. Both cars also come with sportier bumpers up front that make way for a larger air dam that allows for better air flow. At the rear, the X5M and the X6M also get an inbuilt diffuser and the typically M quad exhaust pipe setup.
