2020 BMW X5 M Competition

Third generation BMW X5 M has arrived bigger and faster for 2020 with the new competition package. Sharing the same 4.4L twin turbocharged V8 as the M5 Competition, the X5 M Competition is good for 625 PS (460 kW) of power at 6,000 rpm, and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque between 1,800 and 5,600 rpm. This engine uses the hot-v configuration which has become common place amongst the German luxury vehicle makers. This allows for a smoother flow of the exhaust gases, spinning up the turbos much faster than traditional twin turbocharged setups.

Design wise the X5 M Competition features many of the M division styling cues seen across the range, including the quad round exhaust tips and large open air intakes in the front bumper. The wheels come in 21 and 22-inch sizes. Overall the look has a somewhat toned down appearance when compared to the usual M car look, with fewer add-on elements producing a cleaner design.
