THE BMW X6 M.
THE DEFINITION OF SAVAGE BEAUTY.

Exterior 8 | 9
We took a groundbreaking formula – the Sports Activity Coupe™ – and added equal parts M engineering and M design to create a captivating
vehicle: the X M, a high-performance all-wheel-drive dream machine. Its dynamic contours fall somewhere between artwork and aircraft; a
muscular stance and aggressive front end are paired with a sleek coupe roofl ine and the convenience of four doors. The formidable exterior is
accented by a host of M-specifi c details, from the signature M gills and aggressive quad chrome tailpipes, down to the handsome, standard
-inch light-alloy wheels. Exclusive M paint colors include a head-turning Melbourne Red Metallic. Forget “attention-getting” – the X M
demands to be seen.

FINALLY, A PULSE-TUNED,
TURBOCHARGED REASON TO
TAKE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED.
There’s much more to the X M and X M than mere visual stimulation. An M designed .-liter turbo
V- engine with High Precision Direct Injection offers total command of  hp and  lb-ft of torque –
more than enough to remind the driver that all M vehicles are born on the track. This dynamic V- features
BMW M’s innovative twin pulse-tuned turbochargers. Compared to conventional, previous-generation
turbocharged engines, these twin turbos deliver greater acceleration response, faster and more evenly
across nearly the entire power band, from  to  rpm. Enhancing the high-performance driving
experience: a -speed M Sport Automatic Transmission featuring paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
And special M-tuned driving systems – such as M Dynamic Mode and Dynamic Performance Control –
operate together seamlessly, while allowing you customized control over road feel and responsiveness.

THE BMW X5 M.
ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE STABILITY,
NOW AVAILABLE IN “WOW.”

Exterior 14 | 15
The intelligent traction and spacious luxury of BMW’s Sports
Activity Vehicle® platform meets pure M Power in the X M.
It’s endowed with the same stunning V- engine, customized
suspension and intelligent all-wheel-drive capabilities as the
X M, but designed with a slightly higher driving position,
plenty of room to seat fi ve comfortably, and a larger cargo
area. But make no mistake: the X M’s high-performance
credentials are easy to spot. Three large air intakes, a low,
sporty stance, and quad chrome tailpipes place it fi rmly in
the realm of the track-inspired. And once you drive it, you’ll
need no convincing of its M heritage.

BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. It is important to manage
the earth’s resources responsibly, and not jeopardize the needs of future generations. That is why
BMW makes vehicles that minimize adverse environmental impact, from production (pollution prevention and waste minimization at the plant) through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal
(easy drainability of all fl uid-related components and easy neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices).
This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have received numerous environmental honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental Protection Agency accepted
BMW’s Spartanburg, SC production and manufacturing facility as a charter member of the agency’s
National Environmental Performance Track. Internationally, BMW AG – the parent company of both
BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC – was the fi rst automotive
company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has remained on the
Index ever since. At BMW, we strive for high performance in everything we do.
