About the 2024 BMW X5 M
4th-generation X5 / F95 X5 M (2020-2026), mid-cycle refresh year
BMW positions the X5 M as a high-performance version of the X5 that combines very strong V8 power with the space and everyday usefulness of a midsize luxury SUV. Its core appeal is standard AWD traction, serious chassis hardware, and a premium cabin with large digital displays. Compared with more comfort-focused luxury SUVs, the X5 M is aimed at drivers who want sports-sedan energy in a two-row SUV body.
The X5 M Competition is the sole version for 2024, combining serious performance with the space and everyday usefulness of a midsize SUV. Its signature hardware includes a 617-hp twin-turbo V8, AWD, an adaptive suspension, upgraded brakes, and a 12.3-inch driver display paired with a 14.9-inch touchscreen.

Tech

Safety
Parking Assistant Professional became standard with a surround-view camera, Reverse Assistant, and Maneuver Assistant.

“Car is well built, fast, and fun to drive. However, the electronics are a nightmare.”
