New M Sports Package for the BMW X5.

Suspension technology adapted for outstanding dynamics - powerful,
exclusive and sporty interior design. Dubai, UAE. In 1999 BMW Group
launched the first-generation BMW X5, creating the brand new Sports
Activity Vehicle (SAV) segment in the worldwide market. Since then,
more than one million BMW X3 and BMW X5 have been sold, and in a
segment now subject to keen competition the new BMW X5 once again sets
the standard in driving dynamics and agility. "With the
introduction for the first time of an M Sports Package for the BMW X5,
this vehicle's pole position in the SAV segment is even further
secured," said Phil Horton, Managing Director, BMW Group Middle
East. "The new BMW X5 is the perfect combination of driving
dynamics, variability and exclusivity, BMW has firmly placed this
vehicle in a class of its own. The M body kit will contribute to
enhancing the driving experience and features of the new BMW X5."
Powerful eight- and six-cylinder engines with BMW xDrive permanent
all-wheel drive and a brand-new suspension optimised from the ground up
give the new model its supreme agility and driving dynamics. A BMW X5
equipped with the M Sports Package boasts its dynamic potential
discretely, stylishly, but unmistakably through the use of exterior
features in body colour. In addition to the bumpers, door sills and
door protection strips the widened wheel arches also sport the
characteristic M design. As an alternative to the 19-inch V-spoke M
light-alloy wheels included in the sports package, the car can be
fitted with optional 20-inch M alloys. In both cases the front and rear
wheels are fitted with 2-size tyres designed exclusively for the BMW
X5. High-speed tuning and the sports suspension also included in the M
Sports Package complete the measures implemented to enhance driving
dynamics. The BMW Individual Exterior Line featuring satin finish
aluminium side window surrounds and the BMW Individual roof railing in
high-gloss shadow line accentuate the ultimate in exclusivity.
Electrically adjustable sport seats for driver and front seat
passenger, an M leather-covered steering wheel, aluminium interior
trims (finely brushed lengthwise) and an anthracite BMW Individual roof
lining turn the interior of a BMW X5 equipped with the M Sports Package
into a profoundly unique SAV driving experience. Additionally, it is
now possible to combine the M Sports Package features with further
options from the BMW and BMW Individual programmes, making it possible
to adapt the BMW X5 even more specifically to personal preference. For
example, agility can be boosted even further using the Adaptive Drive
suspension package, which features active suspension control and
electronic damping control, and additionally through the use of active
steering. Moreover, in addition to a selection of regular and metallic
body colours from the X5 colour range, the M colour carbon black
metallic and the BMW Individual colours ruby black metallic and pearl
silver metallic are also available. Exclusive wood interior trims and
comfort seats for both driver and front seat passenger round off the
extensive range of options. The combination of superior driving
dynamics and sovereign traction both on- and off-road, has been the key
to the world-wide popularity of the BMW X5 and the concept of the Sport
Activity Vehicles (SAV). BMW has sold more than one million SAV
globally - a success, which the BMW X5 obtained together with the BMW
X3 and which confirms the unusual potential of this premium vehicle
concept. Since the introduction of the SAV models, sales of these
models make an important contribution to the constant innovation and
growth of the BMW Group. - Ends - For more information please
