“It's great, but it comes only with summer tires. If you want to use it in the cold you need to buy winter tires or all-season tires.”
2025 BMW X5 M: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2025 BMW X5 M
4th-generation X5 / 2nd-generation X5 M, second year after the 2024 refresh.
BMW positions the X5 M Competition as a high-performance luxury SUV that mixes racing character with everyday usefulness. The brand highlights huge V8 power, M-tuned chassis hardware, and bold styling, but also emphasizes comfort, versatility, and technology. In plain terms, it is the X5 for buyers who want sports-car pace and year-round AWD grip without giving up five-seat SUV space, cargo room, or upscale materials.
The sole Competition trim is a five-seat luxury SUV focused on strong acceleration and sharp handling without giving up everyday usefulness. It pairs a 617-hp twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with AWD, adaptive performance suspension, and an active rear differential. Inside, a 12.3-inch instrument display sits beside a 14.9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while a head-up display and Harman Kardon audio are standard.
