BMW refreshed the X5 lineup at the beginning of 2023, and along with the rest of the range, the M Competition version received a well-deserved update.

The X5 M was the top-performer of the X5 range and provided more power and torque than its predecessor, and, for those who thought that 600 hp are not enough, BMW offered an upgraded version.

The big SUV from BMW received an M-Technik implant in 2014. The Motorsport department developed the most powerful engine for an all-wheel-drive BMW ever and installed it in the X5. First, it took the 4.4-liter V8 gasoline engine and then plugged a pair of TwinScroll turbocharges, cross-bank exhaust manifolds, VALVETRONIC and High Precision Direct Gasoline Injection system. The result is a total output of 575 hp and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. To send this energy to the wheels, M engineers installed a newly developed 8-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox.

BMW introduced the most potent X5 to that date and added the notorious M badge on it, confirming that it can provide performance at any level for any ground clearance.
