Singapore. BMW Group Asia announced the availability of the new BMW X5 and BMW X6, the extensively updated editions of its successful Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) respectively for the luxury segment.

The new BMW X5 and BMW X6 emphasise their inherent poise and assurance with detailed design revisions and additions to their standard specification. Also leading the way are the new systems for driving assistance, automated parking and the fully digital iDrive control/operation system with BMW Curved Display based on BMW Operating System 8.

The update provides the new BMW X5 with everything it needs to maintain worldwide market leadership in its segment and enable the new BMW X6 to secure its position as number one ahead of competitors from other premium German manufacturers. The two models are built at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg in the USA, the competence centre for BMW X models.

The new BMW X5: slim headlights.

The M Sport design elements as standard give the new BMW X5 significantly greater presence and visual robustness. Its front end is shaped by the fresh interpretation of the hallmark BMW headlights and kidney grille. The new headlight units now have a 35-millimetre slimmer outline. Their arrow-shaped daytime driving light elements point outwards and also serve as turn signal indicators. Matrix LED headlights with adaptive control and BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high beam come as standard.

The precisely updated design of the new BMW X5 also spans newly designed air breathers in the front side panels, vertical air curtains and lower air intake, complete with decorative trim detail in Black High-gloss.

The sculptural fibre-optic light guide elements for the rear lights and brake lights now have particularly striking contouring. The L shape familiar from other BMW models is reflected horizontally, creating a consistently illuminated X motif within the rear lights.

The new BMW X6: Pitch-perfect athleticism.

The new BMW X6 also has slim headlight units with arrow-shaped daytime driving light elements. The dynamic character of the new BMW X6 is highlighted even more intently with the standard M Sport package. Playing a key role here is the octagonal frontend signature below the BMW kidney grille, with its striking side apertures and generous use of black surfaces. In addition, the three-dimensional sculpting of the front apron underscores the car’s width and brawny stature.

M-specific side skirts and M High-gloss Shadowline trim are also part of the M Sport package. The rear apron of the SAC has an insert in Dark Shadow, while the new exhaust tailpipe trims are trapezoidal in shape.

Modern cockpit design with all-digital BMW Curved Display.

Digital technology is the guiding force behind the advances brought to the interior of the new BMW X5 and BMW X6. The integration of BMW Operating System 8 and the latest generation of the iDrive control/operation system also heralds the arrival of the BMW Curved Display in the Sports Activity Vehicle and Sports Activity Coupé. It is made up of a 12.3-inch information display behind the steering wheel and a control display with a screen diagonal of 14.9 inches – both located behind a single glass surface. The touch control functionality of the control display has brought about a significant reduction in the number of buttons and switches in favour of digital control for numerous functions. The innovative cockpit and associated updates to the instrument panel bring a particularly progressive feel to the modern premium ambience.

Standard specification for both models includes sports seats, an instrument panel with surfacing in leather-like Sensafin and a curving trim element in fine wood (BMW X5) or carbon fibre (BMW X6). Another new feature is the ambient light bar with highly effective LED backlighting integrated below the trim element in the front passenger area. The relevant model lettering – “X5” or “X6” – is added to the light bar’s graphic. The control panel on the centre console includes additional touch-sensitive surfaces and a newly designed gear selector lever. The newly designed Travel & Comfort System also comes as standard.

New engine, new eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission and systematic electrification.

The new BMW X5 and BMW X6 come as standard with a six-cylinder in-line petrol engine from the latest generation of power units. The engine now links up with the likewise new eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission, complete with gearshift paddles on the steering wheel. It sends its power to the road – or indeed unpaved surfaces, as the need arises – via the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system.

The drive unit now features 48V mild hybrid technology. This application of electrification comes in the form of an electric motor integrated into the transmission. This motor generates an output boost of up to 9 kW/12 hp and 200 Nm of torque, helping the combustion engine to deliver a smooth, dynamic drive along with high efficiency.

Latest-generation six-cylinder in-line petrol engine.

Innovations affecting the combustion process, gas exchange, valve control, injection and ignition system mark out the latest-generation 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol engine at work in the new BMW X5 xDrive40i and BMW X6 xDrive40i.

The new engine develops maximum output increased by 47 hp over the outgoing model to 381 hp, plus peak torque up by 70 Nm to 520 Nm. This can be boosted to as much as 540 Nm with the input of the mild hybrid system. The engine accelerates the new BMW X5 xDrive40i and BMW X6 xDrive40i from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.

Sophisticated chassis technology underpins sporting ability and long-distance comfort.

The integrated braking system is a key element of the advanced chassis technology at work here. Standard specification also includes 21-inch M Y-spoke wheels for the new BMW X5 and 22-inch M V-spoke wheels for the new BMW X6.

Additional systems for assisted driving and automated parking.

Comfort and safety in the new BMW X5 and BMW X6 can be taken to another new level with a significantly expanded selection of assisted driving and automated parking systems. Updates include enhanced capabilities for the standard front-collision warning system, which can now also reduce the risk of a collision with cyclists, pedestrians or oncoming traffic when turning off a road. The standard Driving Assistant also offers Speed Limit Display with no-overtaking indicator, Lane Change Warning, Rear Crossing Traffic Warning and Rear Collision Prevention.

As well as the Reversing Assist Camera and Reversing Assistant, the standard Parking Assistant Professional enables automated parking into and out of spaces and complete manoeuvres over a distance of up to 200 metres to be controlled from outside the car using the My BMW App on an Apple iPhone.

Latest-generation BMW iDrive, new digital services.

The latest-generation BMW iDrive tech based on BMW Operating System 8 brings both the BMW Curved Display and an array of new digital services to the new BMW X5 and BMW X6. The BMW Live Cockpit Professional includes the cloud-based navigation system.

The BMW Digital Key Plus enables customers to lock and unlock their new BMW X5 or BMW X6 via security-enhanced ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology with compatible smartphones running the iOS or Android operating system. Optimised smartphone integration and the personalised BMW ID are also on hand.

The new BMW X5 and BMW X6 are now available for viewing at all authorised BMW dealers in Singapore.

Singapore. BMW M GmbH is unveiling the third generation of its high-performance executive-class Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) models. BMW Asia and Performance Munich Autos today announced the launch of the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition – these two models deliver handling agility, dynamism, and precision unmatched in their class. Their superior performance attributes combine with the versatility, extrovert design, and modern luxury of which BMW X models are renowned.

A V8 engine developing 625 hp, an M-specific chassis that has been tailored to both the engine’s performance profile and the SAV / SAC vehicle concept, as well as design features taken from the M playbook ensure imposing power and supremely controllable handling, even at the dynamic limits. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is dispatched in a mere 3.8 seconds for both models – the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition clocks the 0 to 200 km/h sprint in 13.4 seconds, and the first-ever BMW X6 M Competition stops the clock at 13.2 seconds for the same sprint. Both models have an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. The intoxicating all-round performance package benefits from fine-tuning carried out during intensive testing at the BMW Group’s proving grounds, the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and other race tracks.

Significant power hike: high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology developing 625 hp.

M TwinPower Turbo technology and the appetite for revs shared by all M models give the latest-generation V8 engine fitted in the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition an unmistakable performance profile. Its headline character traits are instant response to the slightest movement of the accelerator, precisely controllable power delivery, and a linear wave of power into the upper echelons of the rev range under full throttle.

The 4.4-litre engine teams up with two turbochargers – positioned in the “V” between the cylinder banks – whose impact is further enhanced by a cross-bank exhaust manifold. Torque peaks at 750 Nm between 1,800 and 5,800 rpm, while the maximum output of 625 hp arrives at 3,000 rpm. The power unit’s firm connection to the vehicle’s structure results in remarkably instantaneous engine response and direct transmission of its power to the drivetrain. A super-stiff engine mounting results also makes the car sharper on turn-in while dampening the transmission of engine noise to the cabin. The M Sport exhaust system captures all of the engine’s free-revving eagerness and propulsive power to thrilling effect, generating a soundtrack of particular emotional richness.

Precise power transfer: eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, M xDrive and Active M Differential.

The high-performance engine in the two Competition models teams up with the latest version of the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, whose gearshift characteristics can be adjusted using the Drivelogic button on the M-specific selector lever. The driver may also opt to use the M shift paddles on the steering wheel for manual control over the gear selection process.

The M xDrive all-wheel-drive system with bespoke tuning and the Active M Differential at the rear axle have been specially tuned to transfer drive to the road with characteristic élan. The two systems thus optimise traction, agility, and handling stability when the cars’ sporting capabilities are put to the test in all terrains. In the default 4WD setting, the M xDrive displays a conspicuous rear-wheel bias – it only brings the front axle into play when the rear wheels aren’t able to transmit any more power to the road, and additional tractive force is required. However, the driver can also dip into the Setup menu to select 4WD Sport mode to bring extra intensity to the driving experience, in which an even greater proportion of the engine’s torque is directed to the rear wheels.

M-specific chassis, integrated braking system.

Pulse-quickening on-road dynamism and unsurpassed ground-covering ability over off-road terrain set the tone for the new high-performance additions to the SAV and SAC segments. The first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition are fitted with extensive measures to optimise the stiffness of the body structure and suspension mountings. The model-specific design and tuning of the chassis technology also helps enhance handling precision. Standard specification includes the adaptive M suspension system with electronically controlled dampers, the active roll stabilisation system, and M Servotronic steering. The stiff suspension mountings on both models enable damper control to be extremely precise. The electric swivel motors on the active roll stabilization system have a high adjustment torque, enabling extremely direct damper response when absorbing bumps on the road surface or taming body roll.

M compound brakes offer outstanding stopping power combined with supreme feel and excellent comfort. The version of the integrated braking system developed for BMW M models presents the driver with two settings for brake pedal feel – COMFORT mode allows for comfort-oriented feedback, while SPORT mode makes for an extremely direct, instantaneous response.

Extrovert design, variable-use interior, luxurious ambience.

The shared racing focus of the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition models is emphasised by their striking exterior designs. The combination of typical SAV / SAC proportions with signature M design features lends the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition an extrovert appearance exuding supreme authority in any environment.

Large air intakes, M gills on the front side panels, aerodynamically optimised exterior mirrors, a roof / rear spoiler, a rear apron with diffuser elements and the two pairs of exhaust tailpipes lay the technical platform required to deliver standout performance. The Competition models come with distinctive design highlights, among them the BMW Laserlights feature, as well as exclusive M light-alloy wheels in 21-inch format at the front axle and 22-inch at the rear (first-ever BMW X5 M Competition: Star-spoke style 809 M Bicolour, first-ever BMW X6 M Competition: Star-spoke style 818 M Bicolour). The different rim diameters also combine with mixed tyres to optimise transmission of lateral control forces through dynamically taken corners.

Inside the high-performance models, abundant space, top-class materials, and build quality radiating precise craftsmanship create a luxurious ambience. The classy, contemporary style of the cabin is complemented by displays and controls with the familiar M treatment – the bespoke M controls, and the red splashes of colour adorning the M leather steering wheel’s M buttons plus the Start/Stop button on the centre console help the driver to dial fully into the dynamic driving experience. The restyled selector is trimmed in leather with an embossed M logo and stitching in M GmbH colours, and includes the Drivelogic switch. It also incorporates an eye-catching cut-out accentuated by the integral ambient lighting.

Both models feature a fine-grain Merino full leather trim with M-specific hexagonal quilting – this is also used for the door trim panels, the lower section of the instrument panel, the front seat backs, the door panelling, and the door pockets in leather too. A BMW Individual headliner in Alcantara anthracite is also available as standard. The luxurious interior ambience is further continued with features such as the soft-close function, as well as a Harmon Kardon sound system fitted as standard on the Competition models.

Operating system creates intense M feeling; exclusive standard equipment.

A Setup button on the centre console enables direct access to the settings for the engine, dampers, steering, M xDrive and braking system. Two individually composed variants of this M setup can be stored and called up at any time by pressing one of the two red M buttons on the steering wheel. Added to which, the information shown in the instrument cluster and Head-Up Display and the functionality of the driver assistance systems can both be varied using the M Mode button on the centre console.

In addition to ROAD and SPORT settings, the first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition feature a TRACK setting designed exclusively for use on race circuits. Switching to SPORT or TRACK mode reduces the amount of information appearing in the displays. In addition, the safety-enhancing interventions initiated by the driver assistance systems – such as active braking or steering inputs – are reduced to a bare minimum or deactivated altogether. The exclusive selection of equipment fitted as standard includes the BMW Head-Up Display with M-specific readouts, M multifunction seats for the driver and front passenger, and the BMW Display Key. Both models also come with the BMW Live Cockpit Professional with navigation system and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant as standard.

The Driving Assistant Professional package provides the best in comfort and safety with features such as the Steering and lane control assistant, the Lane Keeping Assistant with active side collision protection, the Lane Change Assistant, the Evasion Assistant, the Emergency Stop Assistant and the Crossroads warning, Wrong-way warning and Front Cross Traffic Alert systems. The standard-fit Parking Assistant Plus comes to the driver’s aid when selecting and manoeuvring into parking spaces – in addition, the system includes Active Park Distance Control and camera system allowing for the Top View, Panorama View, 3D Top View and Remote 3D View functions. The Reversing Assistant also forms part of standard equipment.

The first-ever BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition are now available for viewing at the Performance Munich Autos showroom.

Singapore. BMW Asia, Performance Motors and Performance Munich Autos today announced the availability of the all-new BMW X6, a new edition of the model that lit the fuse for an innovative and highly distinctive breed of car: the Sports Activity Coupe (SAC).

The all-new BMW X6 blends the agile and versatile driving properties of a Sports Activity Vehicle with the head-turning looks of a coupe. The third-generation X6 employs a clean, exclusive design language to underscore its confident and commanding appearance. And advanced powertrain and chassis technology teams up with a wealth of innovations to deliver a uniquely sporting yet also luxurious driving experience. Like its predecessor, the all-new BMW X6 is produced in the US at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg.

Dynamically stretched proportions exude sporting prowess.

The all-new BMW X6 has grown by 26 millimetres in exterior length over the outgoing model (to 4,935 mm) and by 15 mm in width (to 2,004 mm). It now stands 6 mm lower (at 1,696 mm) and combines dynamically stretched proportions with exceptional visual muscularity. The car’s wheelbase has increased by 42 mm to 2,975 millimetres. The large, single-frame BMW kidney grille is the most striking feature of the front end, the outer edges of the kidney grille now approaching the headlights at a clearly defined angle.

If the optional BMW Laserlight with Adaptive LED headlights (standard on the BMW X6 M50i) is specified, a BMW Laserlight spotlight with Selective Beam optimises the non-dazzling high beam function, whose range increases to around 500 metres. BMW Laserlight can be identified by the blue x-shaped elements inside the signature BMW twin headlights. The flanks of the all-new X6 are defined by familiar BMW proportions, a crisply drawn character line and the dynamic roofline. 21-inch (BMW X6 xDrive40i) and 22-inch (BMW X6 M50i) light-alloy wheels are fitted as standard.

Interior: an exclusive ambience imbued with sporting flair.

The interior of the all-new BMW X6 is geared squarely to deliver an exclusive and dynamic driving experience. Clear structures lend the cabin a modern and sporty appearance.

A straight-six petrol unit with output of 250 kW/340 hp sees action in the BMW X6 xDrive40i (fuel consumption combined: 8.6–8.0 l/100 km [32.8–35.3 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions combined: 197–181 g/km)*, and the BMW X6 xDrive30d (fuel consumption combined: 6.6–6.1 l/100 km [42.8–46.3 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions combined: 172–159 g/km)* employs a six-cylinder in-line diesel with 195 kW/265 hp. All variants of the new BMW X6 fulfil the requirements of the EU6d-TEMP emissions standard. The M Sport exhaust system fitted as standard on both M models is also available as an option for the other versions of the BMW X6 or as part of the M Sport package, and gives the car an unmistakable and emotionally rich aural presence.

All new BMW X6 models come as standard with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission, while intelligent all-wheel drive maximises traction, agility and directional stability. The latest generation of the BMW xDrive system once again splits drive torque between the front and rear wheels variably and as the situation demands – only now with even greater precision and speed. In situations which do not require all-wheel drive, drive can be channelled entirely to the rear wheels in the interests of efficiency. The xDrive system also maintains a rear-wheel bias in particularly dynamic driving situations. The car’s sporting attributes are aided by the electronically controlled M differential lock at the rear axle available as part of M Sport specification or in conjunction with the optional xOffroad package.

Perfectly tuned chassis systems enhance sporting responses, comfort levels and off-road prowess. 
A double-wishbone front axle and five-link rear axle give the new BMW X6 the ideal suspension tools to deliver dynamism and ride comfort on the road, plus unshakable traction off the beaten track. Dynamic Damper Control is included as standard, the Adaptive M suspension Professional with active roll stabilisation and Integral Active Steering endows the car with exceptionally agile and dynamic driving qualities, and the new BMW X6 is also available with two-axle air suspension including automatic self-levelling. The car’s height can be altered at the touch of a button in the cockpit through a maximum 80 millimetres. An off-road package is available for all model variants with the exception of the BMW X6 M50i and BMW X6 M50d, allowing the driver to choose from four modes that optimise progress over snow, sand, gravel or rocks respectively. And at the press of a button, they can also activate the ideal settings for the vehicle’s ride height, the xDrive system, accelerator response, transmission control and the DSC system’s corrective inputs.

Innovative driver assistance systems offering new functions. 
An extensive selection of standard and optional driver assistance systems mark out the new BMW X6 as an exceptionally innovative Sports Activity Coupe. Fresh from the addition of myriad new functions, the systems do an extremely effective job in enhancing comfort and safety. Standard specification for the new BMW X6 includes Cruise Control with braking function and the Collision and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking function, which also alerts the driver when a cyclist is detected. The Active Cruise Control system with Stop & Go function is available as an option.

The Driving Assistant Professional can also be found on the options list for the new BMW X6. This complete package of safety- and comfort-enhancing tech includes both the steering and lane control assistant with Traffic jam assistant and lane keeping assistant with active side collision protection. The Evasion Assistant is another component of the Driving Assistant Professional, as are the rear collision warning, road priority warning and wrong-way driving warning systems, crossing traffic warning, Lane Change Warning and the Emergency Stop Assistant. The innovative reversing assistant, which helps the driver when exiting parking spaces and manoeuvring within a confined space, represents another step en route to automated driving.

BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is on hand to help the driver. 
The BMW Live Cockpit Professional in the new BMW X6 combines a new display and operating concept with unbeatable connectivity. It includes a high-resolution instrument cluster and a Control Display, both with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches. The new BMW X6 comes with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, an intelligent digital character who responds to the prompt “Hey BMW”. One unique feature over other digital assistants is that drivers can choose their own name for him. The arrival of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant ensures there is always a genuine BMW professional on board. He is able to explain all sorts of different functions, provide up-to-date information and assist the driver. The range of functions and skills available will be constantly expanded as part of regular updates, which can be carried out seamlessly on a smartphone and in‑car via Remote Software Upgrade.
