Munich. Summer 2025 is set to bring innovations in electric drive technology and digitalisation as well as new standard and optional equipment features that will make the current BMW model range even more attractive. New power electronics in the all-electric BMW i4 result in even greater efficiency and increased range. The most powerful BMW i4 will also debut at the same time. Numerous BMW models will come as standard with Comfort Access and the BMW Digital Key, which has now become even easier to set up.

From summer 2025, the BMW X1, BMW X2 and BMW 2 Series Active Tourer will be available with new exterior and interior options. Standard equipment for the BMW 1 Series and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé now includes heated front seats. The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant now offers an alternative voice.

BMW i4: reduced consumption, new range-topper with extra power.

From July 2025, the BMW i4 eDrive35 (WLTP combined (EnVKV): energy consumption 17.5 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A; range 428 km) as well as the BMW i4 eDrive40 (WLTP combined (EnVKV): energy consumption 17.8 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A; range 510 km) will come with silicon carbide semiconductor components in the power electronics (SiC inverter), which reduce consumption by around 4.5 per cent while adding up to 22 kilometres of range (depending on the model and equipment installed as part of an individual vehicle configuration).

From July 2025, the new range topper for the all-electric BMW i4 comes in the shape of the BMW i4 M60 xDrive (WLTP combined (EnVKV): energy consumption 20.9 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A; range 433 km). Compared to the predecessor, it provides an additional 42 kW/57 hp of power, for a system output of 442 kW/601 hp. The new BMW i4 M60 xDrive takes 3.7 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. 

BMW Digital Key: smartphone used as key enables many additional functions.

The BMW Digital Key will soon become the tool of choice to unlock and lock many BMW models, courtesy of a simplified set-up process. The BMW iX was the first to be updated in March 2025, and many model series will follow from July 2025: the BMW 1 Series, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW X1, BMW X2, BMW 5 Series Sedan, BMW 5 Series Touring, BMW M5, BMW M5 Touring and BMW 7 Series. The BMW X5, BMW X5 M, BMW X6, BMW X6 M, BMW X7 and BMW XM models will follow from August 2025. The BMW X3 will come with the new set-up process in the US from August 2025 and in South Africa from September 2025.

The feature will then include a physical key, a Setup Card and a Service Card. The new Setup Card makes it easier than ever to set up the BMW Digital Key on smartphones from all major manufacturers by simply holding the card to the mobile phone or scanning the QR code on the back. The next step takes the user straight into the My BMW app. After authorisation via the Setup Card, the BMW ID is linked to the vehicle and the BMW Digital Key is then activated. After activation, the customer can easily share the Digital Key with other people by sending them a text message. Activation is possible on up to 18 devices. Owners can define various roles and permissions for each vehicle user. A particularly useful function ideal for novice drivers is limiting acceleration and top speed, for example. If a physical key does need to be handed over, for example in the workshop or in the event of a breakdown, the new Service Card can be used. This should always be carried deactivated so it can be activated as a fully-fledged key when needed, via a click on the central display.

For all eventualities: tyre repair kit and tyre repair kit Plus.

From summer 2025, the tyre repair kit will come as standard for various BMW models. These include the BMW 1 Series, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, BMW 2 Series Coupé, BMW 3 Series Sedan, BMW 3 Series Touring, BMW 4 Series Coupé and the BMW 4 Series Convertible. The optional tyre repair kit Plus is available for the BMW X3 (excluding the BMW X3 30e xDrive).

Individual paintwork finishes at a glance, in the BMW Configurator.

Customers appreciate the BMW Individual paintwork colours as a way to add a personal touch to their new BMW. Special paintwork finishes which previously required looking up in the BMW Individual Visualiser can now be selected from within the BMW Configurator. This applies to all BMW models except for the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer.

BMW BEV models: free extended warranty for high-voltage batteries.

Since 1 April 2025, BMW has offered a global complimentary extended warranty for the high-voltage batteries in all-electric BMW models. The new warranty applies up to a vehicle age of eight years or a maximum mileage of 160,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Should a high-voltage battery’s capacity drop below 70 per cent during the warranty period, BMW will remedy this loss of capacity at no extra cost to the customer. This applies to all new and used all-electric BMW models from 1 April 2025.

More equipment for BMW 1 Series and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé.

Standard equipment for the BMW 1 Series and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé will from summer 2025 be even more comprehensive and include heated front seats and an alarm system. The optional M Technology Package II available for the BMW M135 xDrive (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 8.3 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 188 g/km; CO₂ class G) and the BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 8.2 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 185 g/km; CO₂ class G) now includes M seat belts with M colours in the weave.

New colours for BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW X1 and BMW X2.

The drive system upgrades and electrification result in even more responsive power delivery. Fresh design accents emphasise the dynamic and extravagant aura of both models. Digital technology not only optimises control and operation, it also delivers advances in the field of automated driving and parking systems.

The first high-performance models from BMW M GmbH to feature 48V technology.

The latest generation of drive technology fitted in the new BMW X5 M Competition and new BMW X6 M Competition marks the debut of 48V technology in the brand’s high-performance models. An electric motor integrated in the compact housing of the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission delivers up to 9 kW/12 hp of additional drive power and 200 Nm (147 lb-ft) of torque, while also functioning as a crankshaft-mounted starter generator. The energy required for this is supplied by a 48V battery housed in the engine compartment. The battery is charged through highly efficient adaptive recuperation under braking and on the overrun.

The 48V technology joins forces with a new M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. As well as its cross-bank exhaust manifold, the 4.4‑litre unit now also features a reinforced crankshaft drive, further developed turbocharging, a new air intake duct and an optimised oil supply system and oil separation process. It delivers peak torque of 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) between 1,800 and 5,800 rpm and generates maximum output of 460 kW/625 hp at 6,000 rpm.

The sharper response and high-revving character of the V8 engine, together with the boost provided by the electric motor, take the performance attributes for which M cars are renowned to an even more enthralling level. The new BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition each accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds. The drive system’s more effervescent nature can also be clearly felt when putting in a quick burst of speed. The standard M Sport exhaust system with electrically controlled flaps adds another layer to the performance experience with its exhilarating drive sound. New catalytic converters, meanwhile, do their bit to improve the petrol engine’s emissions performance.

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

The engine’s power is relayed to a new version of the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic that offers a choice of three shift settings in both automated and manual mode. New features include, among other things, a retuned setup and a sharper shift action.

Further adding to the distinctive performance experience offered by the new BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition is a newly adapted version of the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, which teams up with the Active M Differential at the rear axle. The M Setup menu lets the driver switch from the default 4WD setting to 4WD Sport mode, which makes it possible to execute controlled drifts by splitting power with a distinct rear-wheel bias.

Precise chassis setup offering supremely assured performance.

The body structure and chassis mountings have an exceptionally stiff design, ensuring both models handle with M’s signature blend of dynamism, agility and precision. The suspension and damping systems also enable them to offer an exceptional breadth of ability from out-and-out sportiness to long-distance comfort. The toe-in values at the rear axle have been modified for even greater poise at high speeds.

Standard specification includes adaptive M suspension Professional featuring reworked electronically controlled dampers and active roll stabilisation. A modified application of the steering gear result in an M Servotronic steering ratio that is even more conducive to sharp handling dynamics. The M Compound brakes work in tandem with the latest-generation integrated braking system in an M-specific configuration that presents the driver with two pedal feel settings.

Instead of just being interconnected with the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) as before, the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system and the Active M Differential also work in unison with near-actuator wheel slip limitation for the first time in the new BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition. This ensures even swifter and more precise reactions to changes in the driving situation, along with greater traction.

Both models come as standard with 21-inch M light-alloy wheels at the front paired with 22-inch M light-alloy items at the rear. Forged M light-alloy wheels with the same dimensions are available as optional extras. They include a new variant in a Jet Black solid finish.

Exuding exclusivity and a marked increase in presence.

Sporting dominance and an extrovert visual attitude headline the exterior design of the new BMW X5 M Competition and new BMW X6 M Competition. The increased presence is mainly down to the new front-end design. Both models now have new matrix LED headlights with adaptive control and BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high beam. The outline of the new headlight units is 35 millimetres narrower than on the outgoing models. They can also be specified as an option as M Shadowline lights. The BMW kidney grille is now all-black in colour. Horizontal kidney grille bars and enlarged model badging add some eye-catching touches. In addition to this, the BMW kidney grille and central lower air intake now form a single black, x-shaped area.

The side view shines a spotlight on the clear design language of the two models and their distinctive proportions. Their exterior mirror caps and the rear spoiler of the BMW X6 M Competition are also available in carbon as an option. On both models, a prominent diffuser insert extends downwards at the lower edge of the rear apron. It also provides a sophisticated border for the two pairs of twin exhaust tailpipes familiar from other M models. The BMW X5 M Competition now uses x-shaped fibre-optic light guide elements for its rear lights and brake lights, providing another head-turning attraction at the rear end.

Modern, digital, exclusive: M cockpit with BMW Curved Display.

At the heart of the design updates for the interior of the new BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition is the BMW Curved Display, which gives the M-typical cockpit a modern and exclusive feel. It is formed by a 12.3-inch information display behind the steering wheel and a control display with a screen diagonal of 14.9 inches, with a single glass surface incorporating both. The control display’s touchscreen enables digital control of numerous functions, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of buttons and controls.

Other new features include the broad interior trim strip in Fineline Black fine wood with high-gloss metal effect, the ambient light bar with effective backlighting and the addition of an M logo to its graphic, plus the M leather steering wheel with its new carbon gearshift paddles. Also to be found on the standard equipment list are M multifunction seats, knee pads, fine-grain Merino full leather trim and the Harman Kardon Surround Sound System. The Sky Lounge panoramic glass sunroof, the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System and a new Travel & Comfort System are just some of the optional extras available. A wide choice of model-specific BMW M Performance Parts from the Original BMW Accessories range are also available for the exterior and interior.

Significantly expanded selection of driver assistance systems.

Comfort and safety in the new BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition are further enhanced by a much wider selection of automated driving and parking systems. The standard front collision warning’s range of functions has been extended so that it also now reduces the risk of a collision with cyclists, pedestrians and oncoming traffic when turning off a road. The Lane Departure Warning function has been upgraded with the addition of lane return with steering assistance. The list of available options now also includes features such as automatic Speed Limit Assist, the exit warning function, Active Navigation, route speed control, traffic light recognition (not available in all markets), the Emergency Stop Assistant and the Lane Change and Merging Assistant.

The new optional Parking Assistant Professional makes it possible to control automated parking manoeuvres into and out of spaces – as well as other full manoeuvres covering a distance of up to 200 metres – from outside the vehicle using the My BMW App on an Apple iPhone. The driver is able to control each manoeuvre either from inside the vehicle or remotely while they monitor the vehicle’s surroundings.

Familiar M control/operation concept, new digital services.

The M-specific control/operation concept includes the Setup button for direct access to the settings options for the engine, chassis, steering, braking system and M xDrive. The amount of content shown in the displays can also be individually adjusted, as can the level of driver assistance system functionality. After pressing the M Mode button on the centre console, drivers are able to choose between ROAD, SPORT and TRACK settings.

Besides the BMW Curved Display with M-specific readouts, the latest-generation BMW iDrive based on BMW Operating System 8 also brings new digital services to the BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition. The standard BMW Live Cockpit Professional also features the BMW head-up display and the cloud-based BMW Maps navigation system complete with Augmented View function. Whenever the vehicle is stationary, the driver and front passenger are able to enjoy streaming content from both YouTube and the Bundesliga in-car app on the control display.

The optional BMW Digital Key Plus enables customers to lock and unlock their car using compatible smartphones with either an iOS or Android operating system by means of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology. Optimised smartphone integration, the personalised BMW ID functionality and a Personal eSIM designed for new 5G mobile technology are also all available to use.

Munich. At the end of its anniversary year, BMW M GmbH has once again achieved record results. Global sales of performance and high-performance cars rose to 177,257 vehicles during the 2022 financial year. This represents an increase of 8.4 per cent compared to the previous year, despite the continuing challenging conditions in the area of logistics and supply chains. The most important single market in 2022 was again the USA, with the second most important sales region again being the German domestic market, followed by the UK.

“The enthusiasm of the M community for emotionally powerful performance on the road and on the racetrack has carried us through the entire anniversary year,” says Franciscus van Meel, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW M GmbH. “This is also expressed in a new sales record for BMW M automobiles, which gives us a positive outlook for 2023.”

BMW i4 M50: the best-selling BMW M automobile drives locally emission-free.
At the same time, 2022 marks BMW M GmbH's successful start into the age of electric mobility. “The best-selling BMW M automobile of 2022 is the all-electric BMW i4 M50,” says Timo Resch, Head of Customer, Brand and Sales at BMW M GmbH. “For us, this is a clear signal that the unique M feeling has arrived in the world of electrified vehicles.” The BMW i4 M50 is powered by an electric motor on both the front and rear axles, which together generate a maximum output of 400 kW/544 hp. The perfectly coordinated power delivery of the two e-motors and independent suspension tuning ensure an M-typical driving experience characterised by dynamics, agility and precision, which proved to be a real crowd-puller right from the outset.

With the BMW iX M60*, a second all-electric performance car from BMW M GmbH made a highly successful debut. During the course of 2023, BMW M GmbH will continue its product offensive with, among other things, the first electrified high-performance automobile, the BMW XM, and the BMW i7 M70, a BMW M automobile based on the fully electric BMW i7. The further transformation towards electric mobility has also already been mapped out. In order to be able to include high-performance cars with purely electric drive in the range in the future, BMW M GmbH will intensify the corresponding concept testing in 2023. The focus will be on an integrated driving dynamics control system and an electric M xDrive all-wheel drive system with four electric motors, which will ensure that the emotionally powerful M feeling reaches an even higher level.

Anniversary year with spectacular premieres, BMW M3 and BMW M4 remain on the road to success, fast-paced launch for the new BMW M240i xDrive Coupe*.
The celebrations of the 50th anniversary of BMW M GmbH were accompanied by debuts for numerous spectacular new models. The broad spectrum of new releases ranged from the second generation of the puristic BMW M2*, with its combination of straight six-cylinder engine, 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, which evokes classic driving pleasure in a high-performance automobile, to the extroverted BMW XM with its 480 kW/653 hp M HYBRID drive. The first BMW M3 Touring* also offers completely new ways to experience M-typical performance. This diversity creates ideal conditions for attracting additional target groups and generating further growth in 2023.

The current increase in sales figures is also based on sales successes in a wide range of vehicle segments. The high-performance sports cars of the BMW M3 and BMW M4 series, which – including the new BMW M3 Touring – are available in four body variants, in two performance levels, with a choice of a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission, as well as with rear-wheel drive or the all-wheel drive system M xDrive, continued to enjoy particularly widespread popularity in 2022. BMW M GmbH thus covers a wide range of customer needs in this core segment.

With an exceptionally strong performance within their competitive environment, the high-performance cars based on BMW X models also contributed to BMW M GmbH's new sales record. The upcoming upgrade for the BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M models in spring 2023 will provide effective impetus for a continuation of this success story.

The successful launch of the new BMW M240i xDrive Coupe in 2022 proved to be a highlight in the performance car segment. The new edition of the compact two-door is powered by a 275 kW/374 hp straight-six engine and is now also available with classic rear-wheel drive. “The new sales record for BMW M Automobiles is based on our successful presence in a broad range of vehicle segments,” says Timo Resch. “With our wide-ranging product portfolio, we are also ideally positioned for the future.”

Premiere at Daytona: the new BMW M3 CS* and the BMW M Hybrid V8.
In addition, BMW M GmbH fulfils the desire for particularly concentrated racing characteristics with attractive special models – as early as 2022 with the BMW M4 CSL* and soon with the new BMW M3 CS.

The BMW M3 CS will make its world debut on the last weekend of January as part of the 24-hour race at Daytona. The tradition-steeped competition in the US state of Florida is also the venue for BMW M Motorsport's comeback to endurance racing. The new BMW M Hybrid V8 will compete there for the first time. 47 years after the Daytona overall victory of the legendary BMW 3.0 CSL, the new LMDh prototype is set to race for points in the IMSA GTP class of the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship before also competing in the official FIA World Endurance Championship at Le Mans and elsewhere in 2024.

The final phase of the development process and the subsequent test drives on various race tracks were among the highlights of 2022 for the BMW M GmbH motorsport department, while the all-important success on the race track was the overall victory in the DTM drivers' and teams' championships. South African Sheldon van der Linde and Team Schubert Motorsport secured the title win in the prestigious touring car championship in the very first season with the new BMW M4 GT3.

BMW, eden izmed svetovno najuspešnejših proizvajalcev premium avtomobilov se prav tako ponaša z izvrstnim položajem na trgu štirikolesnega pogona, segmentu, kamor je prvič vstopil pred 30 leti. Približno vsako tretje prodano vozilo BMW po vsem svetu je danes opremljeno z inteligentnim sistemom štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive. Uspešnost znamke BMW v tem segmentu ni le rezultat priljubljenih modelov BMW X, ampak tudi štirikolesnih modelov drugih modelnih serij, od BMW serije 1 do BMW serije 7. Vzdolž teh modelnih serij je na voljo široka izbira modelov s štirikolesnim pogonom za zelo različne verzije motorjev. Hkrati pa BMW nadaljuje z razvojem štirikolesne tehnologije in jo nenehno izpopolnjuje. Z nudenjem BMW xDrive v kombinaciji s hibridnim pogonom in platformo podvozja s sprednjim pogonom, proizvajalec vedno znova dokazuje svojo usposobljenost na tem področju, ki mu bo zagotovila vodilni položaj v tem segmentu tudi v prihodnje. BMW nudi danes več kot 110 modelov – s katerimkoli tipom menjalnika – z BMW xDrive v 12 različnih modelnih serijah, prav tako pa je ta oprema na voljo tudi pri priključnem hibridu BMW i8 in kompaktnem BMW 225xe z električnim pogonom.

Žarišče od prvega dne naprej: trakcija in dinamika.
Prvi naskok znamke BMW na trg štirikolesnega pogona se je zgodil z razkritjem BMW 325i “Allrad” na mednarodnem avtomobilskem salonu v Frankfurtu leta 1985. Novinec navzven ni takoj razkril svojih notranjih kvalitet, zato je imela njegova predstava, ko so ga novinarji odpeljali na testno vožnjo še toliko večji “vau” efekt. Prvi sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW ni izboljšal le trakcije izven urejenih cest in v neugodnih vremenskih razmerah, ampak je omogočal tudi bolj dinamično vožnjo skozi zavoje. “Novi BMW je nov šampion, ko gre za obnašanje vozila med vožnjo,” se je glasila soglasna sodba testnih voznikov nemške avtomobilistične revije Auto Zeitung kmalu po prvem razkritju.

Današnji inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive pomika značilno vozno dinamiko BMW na novo raven. Aktualna generacija tega sistema je krmiljena s pomočjo integriranega upravljanja šasije (ICM), ki zagotavlja, da se xDrive vedno odzove ustrezno in v najbolj zgodnjem možnem trenutku, ki se določi na osnovi zanesljivega zaznavanja in nadzorovanja trenutne vozne situacije. Posegi se lahko izvajajo bodisi izključno z BMW xDrive bodisi z xDrive v kombinaciji z dinamičnim nadzorom stabilnosti (DSC) ali dinamičnim nadzorom zmogljivosti (DPC). Hiter in natančen nadzor porazdelitve pogonskega momenta zagotavlja značilne vozne lastnosti BMW tudi pri ekstremno dinamični vožnji skozi zavoj.

S tem je sistem štirikolesnega pogona natančno prilagojen tipičnim lastnostim pogona BMW na vsa štiri kolesa. To pomeni, da se pri modelih s štirikolesnim pogonom večji delež pogonskega momenta posreduje na zadnji kolesi, če vožnja poteka v normalnih voznih razmerah. Na ta način se ohrani natančna povratna informacija krmiljenja BMW, ki praktično odpravi navor krmiljenja. Za natančno zavijanje in visoko stabilnost ohranjanje smeri vožnje, najnovejša generacija sistema BMW xDrive povečuje količino moči na zadnji kolesni par, kakor hitro vozilo vstopi v zavoj, kar še izboljša užitek v vožnji, ki je sinonim za BMW.

Tehnologija štirikolesnega pogona BMW: neprekinjena evolucija od leta 1985.
Stalni sistem štirikolesnega pogona, ki je vgrajen v BMW 325i “Allrad” iz leta 1985, porazdeli pogonski moment med sprednjo in zadnjo premo v razmerju 37 : 63. Kot odgovor na razlike pri vrtilni frekvenci koles sta viskozna sklopka v razdelilnem gonilu in zadnji diferencial lahko zagotovila praktično togo povezavo med sprednjo in zadnjo premo, da bi se izboljšala trakcija in stabilnost. Ime modela se je kmalu preimenovalo v BMW 325iX, od leta 1988 pa je bil na voljo tudi v različici “touring” (mala začetnica v veljavi do in vključno s serijo E46).

1991: BMW 525iX.
Tri leta pozneje je BMW vpeljal štirikolesni pogon tudi v BMW serije 5. Prvič je bila porazdelitev moči uravnavana elektronsko. Prenovljen sistem je vključeval lamelne sklopke, ki so omogočale, da se je standardna porazdelitev moči med sprednjo in zadnjo premo v razmerju 36 : 64 spreminjala brezstopenjsko in avtomatsko v skladu z voznimi razmerami. Najprej se je hidravlično krmiljena lamelna sklopka uporabljala na zadnji premi, vendar je bila ta pozneje zamenjana z elektronsko krmiljenim selektivnim zavornim posegom. Sistem, ki je nadzoroval vozno situacijo prek signalov vrtilne frekvence koles iz ABS, je bil dopolnjen z dodatnimi informacijami o stanju zavor, vrtilni frekvenci motorja in položaju dušilne lopute.

Sistem štirikolesnega pogona v BMW 525iX je bil od vsega začetka razred zase. Elektronski nadzorni sistem je posredoval zelo hitro in natančno povratno informacijo, kar je pomenilo varno in nevtralno obnašanje vozila med vožnjo tudi v zahtevnih voznih razmerah, kot so mokre ali zasnežene ceste. Tudi pri BMW serije 5 so bili prvi modeli s štirikolesnim pogonom na voljo kot Limuzina ali Touring.

1999: Športno terensko vozilo (SAV) odpira novo poglavje.
Na uvodu v novo tisočletje je senzacionalno debitiral zelo inovativen koncept vozila znamke BMW. BMW X5, prvo športno terensko vozilo (SAV), je kupce navdušil z vozno dinamiko, ki je bila brez primere med ostalimi terenskimi vozili tistega časa. Izvrsten sistem štirikolesnega pogona je pri tem odigral pomembno vlogo. Planetno gonilo je porazdelilo pogonski moment med sprednjo in zadnjo premo v razmerju 38 : 62, medtem ko so elektronski nadzorni sistemi, kot npr. DSC (dinamični nadzor stabilnosti), ADB-X (avtomatska diferencialna zavora) in HDC (pomoč pri spuščanju po klancu), zagotavljali, da je bil novi BMW X5 športen na cesti in opremljen za premagovanje zahtevnih razmer izven utrjenih poti.

V letih, ki so sledila uspešnemu lansiranju koncepta SAV na trg, ni bilo pri BMW nobenega popuščanja v hitrem tempu razvoja štirikolesnega pogona. Leta 2000 je za model specifična različica tehnologije štirikolesnega pogona BMW X5 postala na voljo za četrto generacijo BMW serije 3.

2003: BMW xDrive debitira v BMW X3 in BMW X5.
Štiri leta od prihoda na trg BMW X5, je BMW nadaljeval s svojo dinamiko z lansiranjem koncepta SAV v novem segmentu vozil. Novi BMW X3 je bil kompaktnejši od BMW X5 in je nudil še bolj agilne vozne lastnosti. Postavil je nove mejnike in v naslednjih letih ostal edini premium model v svojem razredu.

Prenovljen sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive, ki je bil istega leta vpeljan v BMW X3 in BMW X5, je kmalu povečal vodilni položaj znamke BMW v segmentu štirikolesnega pogona. Na osnovi ekstremno hitro delujoče elektronske lamelne sklopke v razdelilnem gonilu, je xDrive deloval v tandemu z dinamičnim nadzorom stabilnosti (DSC), ki sta porazdelitev pogonskega momenta stalno prilagajala aktualni vozni situaciji. Poleg vrtilne frekvence koles je elektronski nadzorni sistem prvič upošteval tudi podatke dinamičnega nadzora stabilnosti (DSC), kot so npr. krmilni kot, položaj pedala za plin in bočni pospešek. Zato je BMW xDrive prvi svetovni, in še vedno edini, “inteligentni” sistem štirikolesnega pogona. V nasprotju s konvencionalnimi sistemi štirikolesnega pogona, ki se odzovejo, ko se vsaj eno kolo že vrti v prazno, lahko xDrive zazna nevarnost prekrmiljenja ali podkrmiljenja že ob prvih znakih in proaktivno posreduje s preusmeritvijo toka pogonskega momenta.

Inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive v naslednjih letih ni bil vgrajen le v modele BMW X, ampak tudi v različice xDrive modelov BMW serije 3 in serije 5 obeh karoserijskih izvedb (Limuzina in Touring). Do prihoda na trg BMW X3 druge generacije v letu 2010, je bilo po vsem svetu prodanih več kot 600.000 vozil te serije. Nekoliko prej je prodaja BMW X5 – ki je s svojo drugo generacijo prišel na trg v letu 2006 – presegla znamko enega milijona.

2008: SAC z dinamičnim nadzorom zmogljivosti (DPC) in hibridnim pogonom.
Z dvema močno uveljavljenima karoserijskima izvedenkama SAV v svojih segmentih, je BMW leta 2007 javnosti predstavil prvo svetovno športno terensko vozilo s silhueto kupeja (SAC). Popolnoma novi BMW X6, ki je bil razkrit na mednarodnem avtomobilskem salonu v Frankfurtu, je dvignil značilen dinamičen značaj modelov BMW X na novo raven intenzivnosti. Inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona je bil prvič kombiniran z dinamičnim nadzorom zmogljivosti (DPC), ki spreminja porazdelitev pogonskega momenta med zadnjima kolesoma pri vožnji skozi zavoj, kar zagotavlja neprekosljivo agilnost in stabilnost tudi pri nenadnih spremembah hitrosti ali prehitevanju. Leta 2009 je BMW Active Hybrid X6 demonstriral naslednjo odlično kombinacijo – med BMW xDrive in hibridnim pogonom. Medtem je oddelek BMW M GmbH istega leta k svoji ponudbi športnih vozil z visoko zmogljivostjo dodal dva zelo posebna modela. Z M uglašenim sistemom BMW xDrive, vključno z dinamičnim nadzorom zmogljivosti (DPC), sta BMW X5 M in BMW X6 M pokazala zmogljivost, ki doslej v segmentu vsekolesnega pogona ni bila poznana.

Leto 2009 je bilo premierno še za en novi model z oznako X, to je BMW X1. V naslednjih letih je BMW X1 ostal edino vozilo svoje vrste v premium kompaktnem segmentu. Njegov inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive, enak kot v novem BMW X3 (2010), je bil prav tako združljiv z nadzorom zmogljivosti. Slednji selektivno zavira kolo na notranji strani zavoja, medtem ko sočasno povečuje moč motorja, kar zagotavlja hitro in precizno vožnjo skozi zavoje in dviguje agilne vozne lastnosti obeh modelov na novo raven.

BMW xDrive na voljo tudi za ostale modelne serije.
Nenehen napredek modelov BMW X je spremljala rast števila različic xDrive, ki so bile na voljo tudi pri ostalih modelnih serijah BMW. BMW xDrive, ki je bil konstruiran za izboljšanje agilnosti pri vožnji skozi zavoj in večjo natančnost, omogoča izpopolnjeno vozno doživetje in optimalno kombinacijo dinamike ter udobja. Zato je bilo le še vprašanje časa, kdaj bo ta inteligentna pogonska tehnologija doživela svoj prvenec tudi v BMW serije 7 (leta 2009). Spomladi leta 2012 sta bila prva modela Coupé in Cabrio s štirikolesnim pogonom na voljo tudi v športnem BMW serije 6. BMW xDrive se lahko naroči pri aktualnih BMW serije 3 in serije 5 ter, od leta 2013, v modelih Cabrio, Coupé in Gran Coupé novega BMW serije 4.

Nenehno spodbujanje napredka.
Z lansiranjem novega BMW X4 v letu 2014 je BMW naredil nov korak v premium segmentu srednje velikih vozil. Nova izvedenka SAC nudi edinstveno kombinacijo užitka v vožnji, prefinjenega sloga in moderne praktičnosti. Model X4 ima tehnologijo BMW xDrive na voljo že v osnovni opremi in je razpoložljiv s širokim spektrom različic motorjev. Istega leta je BMW prav tako predstavil modele BMW X5 tretje generacije, BMW X6 druge generacije in M športni različici obeh modelov. BMW xDrive je debitiral še v novem BMW serije 2 Active Tourer. To je bil nekoliko drugačen prvenec, saj je BMW svoj inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona prvič kombiniral s popolnoma novo platformo podvozja s sprednjim pogonom.

Z BMW i8, ki je bil javnosti predstavljen leta 2014, je BMW Group pogumno zakorakal v novo smer, ki je vključevala tudi sistem štirikolesnega pogona. Ta športni model s konceptom sedežev 2 + 2 poganja zelo napreden priključni hibridni sistem, ki združuje motor z notranjim zgorevanjem na zadnji in elektromotor z visoko učinkovitostjo na sprednji premi.

Osredotočen na prihodnost: BMW xDrive sreča BMW eDrive.
Najnovejši modeli BMW s štirikolesnim pogonom prinašajo tehnološki napredek, ki je močno vpet v mobilnost prihodnosti. Vozilu BMW i8 je sledil mednarodni prihod na trg prvega proizvodnega priključnega hibrida iz jedrne blagovne znamke, in sicer BMW X5 xDrive40e. Po zaslugi stalnega sistema štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive in tehnologije eDrive BMW EfficientDynamics, združuje to športno terensko vozilo (SAV) vznemirljivo športno zmogljivost z izvrstno učinkovitostjo. Inteligentno upravljanje moči hibrida sinhronizira obratovanje motorja z notranjim zgorevanjem in elektromotorja, da v vsakem trenutku poveča učinkovitost, medtem ko se odlično odziva na voznikove zahteve. Pogonski moment iz obeh pogonskih enot se prenaša na cesto s pomočjo stalnega inteligentnega sistema štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive.

BMW serije 7: integralno aktivno krmiljenje združljivo z BMW xDrive.
V mesecu septembru 2015 je na mednarodnem avtomobilskem salonu v Frankfurtu svojo svetovno premiero doživela šesta generacija BMW serije 7. Najbolj luksuzna limuzina BMW, ki prinaša revolucionarne inovacije na vseh področjih, je z BMW xDrive na voljo od svojega prihoda na trg (oktober 2015). Nova luksuzna limuzina bo prav tako prvi model, ki bo omogočal kombinacijo inteligentnega sistema štirikolesnega pogona z integralnim aktivnim krmiljenjem, kar pomeni –pasivno krmiljenjem zadnjega kolesnega para.

BMW M GmbH z novim BMW X5 M in novim BMW X6 M (kombinirana poraba goriva pri obeh modelih: 11,1 l/100 km; emisije CO2 pri obeh modelih; 258 g/km) zopet narekuje tempo v razredu Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) in Sports Activity Coupé (SAC). S prihodom predhodne generacije obeh modelov leta 2009 je bil visokozmogljiv karakter, ki ga je razvil BMW M GmbH, prenesen v model BMW X s štirikolesnim pogonom. Rezultat je bila vrhunska dinamika. BMW X5 M in BMW X6 M sta brez okolišenja spisala novo poglavje v tej zgodbi o uspehu z naslednjim odločnim korakom naprej v smislu dinamične izvrstnosti, razburljivo bogate M oblike in izjemne učinkovitosti.

Novi BMW X5 M in novi BMW X6 M združujeta značilne elemente uspešne serije BMW X – ekskluzivnost, robustnost, agilnost in vsakodnevno uporabnost – s predanostjo visoki zmogljivosti, ki opredeljuje avtomobil M. Slednjo vidno poudarjajo impresivne vrednosti moči. Oba modela v kombinaciji z 8-stopenjskim menjalnikom M Steptronic iz sklopa osnovne opreme opravita s sprintom od 0 do 100 km/h v 4,2 sekunde.

Inovativna tehnologija motorja.

Novi motor M TwinPower Turbo v BMW X5 M in BMW X6 M je najzmogljivejša pogonska enota, ki jo je doslej razvil BMW za vozilo s štirikolesnim pogonom. 4,4-litrski V8, ki se ponaša z inovativno tehnologijo M TwinPower Turbo z dvema turbinskima polnilnikoma z dvojno spiralo, zbiralniki izpušnih plinov Cross-bank, sistemom VALVETRONIC in sistemom neposrednega vbrizgavanja goriva HPI, proizvede največjo moč 423 kW/575 KM med 6.000 in 6.500 vrt/min. To predstavlja štiri-odstotno povečanje v primerjavi s predhodnimi modeli. Korak naprej je še bolj opazen pri razvoju moči novega motorja. Največji navor je večji za 70 Nm, kar pomeni 10-odstotno porast. V 750 Nm navora je mogoče uživati preko širokega razpona vrtilne frekvence med 2.200 in 5.000 vrt/min.

Poleg tega je bila za 20 odstotkov zmanjšana tudi poraba goriva novega BMW X5 M in BMW X6 M po evropskem testnem krogu – iz 13,9 l/100 km na 11,1 l/100 km. Emisije CO2 so prav tako zmanjšane za preko 20 odstotkov in sicer na 258 g/km. Modela pospešita od 0 do 100 km/h v 4,2 sekunde s pomočjo osnovno vgrajenega 8-stopenjskega menjalnika M Steptronic z Drivelogic. Največja hitrost je elektronsko omejena na 250 km/h.

Mogočen videz in ekskluzivna oprema.

S svojimi izrazitimi oblikami novi BMW X5 M in novi BMW X6 M jasno izkazujeta svojo športno naravnanost. Z zunanjostjo, povsem zaključeno v barvi karoserije, oba modela izklešeta nizko usločeno postavo na cesti, medtem ko kombinirane pnevmatike nakazujejo na športno kolotečino in pridodajo k kredibilnosti njunega premium videza. Posebne modifikacije oblike zunanjosti razlikujejo modela M od osnovnih izvedb BMW X5 in BMW X6.

Velike odprtine za zrak na sprednjem delu, stranske reže, opremljene z znakom modela in elementi Air Breathers, značilna zunanja ogledala M z dvojnimi nosilci, dva para tipičnih M cevi izpušnega sistema in zadnji spojler (pri BMW X6 M) ju oplemenitijo z edinstvenimi M videzom, ki ga bodo oboževalci nemudoma prepoznali. Pečat temu ekskluzivnemu sklopu elementov pa dajejo 20-palčna M specifična lahka aluminijasta platišča s kombiniranimi pnevmatikami oziroma 21-palčna kovana M lahka aluminijasta platišča (dodatna oprema).

Visokokakovostna notranjost navdušuje z dobro premišljeno kombinacijo športnih elementov, ekskluzivnih materialov in brezhibne izvedbe. M instrumentno ploščo, M usnjeni volan z aluminijastimi prestavnimi stikali in M prestavno ročico – ki deluje na enak način kot dobro znan menjalnik M z dvojno sklopko – dopolnjujejo električno nastavljivi M športni sedeži za voznika in sovoznika, M naslon za nogo za voznika in Head-Up projektor, ki poleg osnovnega sistema prav tako vključuje specifičen M prikaz z indikatorjem prestave, prikazni obroč vrtilne frekvence in prestavne luči. Kupci novega BMW X5 M in BMW X6 M imajo prav tako na izbiro različne možnosti dodatne opreme, ki je ekskluzivna za M modele, kot so na primer 21-palčna M lahka aluminijasta platišča, okrasni elementi iz polnega usnja Merino in multifunkcionalne sedeže. Tu pa je tudi ponudba dveh novih in ekskluzivnih M barvnih zaključkov.
