The new BMW X5 M and X6 M models have made their debut in the Middle East.

The company pioneered the sports activity vehicle segment with the launch of the X5, which has sold close to one million units globally in just one decade.

In 2008 BMW took yet another bold step forward with the world's first sports activity CoupŽ, the BMW X6.

The X6 has secured an unrivalled position in the Middle East, reporting strong sales since its launch in 2008.

Both the X5 M and X6 M models are powered by a newly-developed M TwinPower turbo V8 high-performance engine delivering 555 hp at an engine speed range between of 6,000 rpm, acceleration from 0-100km/h in 4.7 seconds, and a top speed electronically limited to an impressive 250km/h.

The six-speed sports automatic gearbox allows for extremely short shift times as well as very smooth gear-changes.

In the M Drive menu the driver is able to set up and pre-configure both the power mode and the set-up of the dynamic stability control (DSC) and electronic damper control (EDC), which help stablise handling even during unpredictable and often critical situations.

The driver is also able to save his favourite set-up and subsequently retrieve it at any time simply by pressing the M drive button on the steering wheel.

The BMW X5 M and the X6 M are also the only vehicles in their segment to come as standard with different-sized front and rear tyres, running in each case on model specific 20-inch light-alloy rims.
