2011 BMW X5 M Sports package

Munich. The new BMW X5 – set for launch in spring 2010 – now
cuts an even more commanding figure with new, even more
powerful engines and an extended selection of innovative driver
assistance systems. All of which takes the characteristic driving
pleasure of the Sports Activity Vehicle into a new dimension. This
latest boost to its dynamic capability can be highlighted
particularly vividly by the addition of the also new M Sports
package, available for the new X5 from launch. A top-quality and
perfectly judged combination of exterior, interior and chassis
components gives you everything you need to experience the
enhanced sports performance of the BMW X5 with even greater
intensity – and to showcase it in suitable style.

All the components of the M Sports package for the new BMW X5
have been designed specifically for the Sports Activity Vehicle and
are geared precisely to its outstanding dynamic potential. A high-
speed setting and the sporty chassis set-up emphasise the high
levels of driver involvement offered by the X5, as do the 19-inch
M light-alloy wheels in V-spoke design. Available as an option are
20-inch M light-alloy wheels, whose bi-colour double-spoke
design and high-sheen spokes lend a particularly exclusive touch.
In both cases, the wheels come with mixed tyres at the front and
rear, chosen specially for the X5.

The M Sports package also includes special tailpipes for the
exhaust system. On the six-cylinder variants, they share the
trapezoidal shape standard on the BMW X5 xDrive50i. Available
for the new BMW X5 exclusively in conjunction with the M Sports
package is the exterior paint shade Carbon Black metallic, which
joins five other colour shades in the range.

The M Aerodynamic package and M door sills combine with the
BMW Individual Exterior Line side window frames in satin-finish
aluminium and the BMW Individual roof rails in satin-finish chrome
to create an unmistakable look. The designers took into account
the position of the sensors and cameras used by the driver
assistance systems when shaping the aerodynamically optimised
front and rear aprons. This means that both Park Distance Control
and the Side View system – making its debut on the BMW X5 –
can be combined with the M Sport package.

Electrically adjustable sports seats for the driver and front
passenger, the M leather steering wheel and the M driver’s
footrest maximise the driving experience inside the new BMW X5.
Brushed aluminium interior trim elements and a BMW Individual
roof liner in anthracite add the finishing touches to the sporting
ambience.
