BMW X5 4.8i M Sport

BMW’s ever-popular M Sport derivative is to be introduced to the new X5 range for the first time. On sale now, the new flagship offers customers a substantial level of sports-orientated standard equipment, a 0-100 km/h time of 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph.

Power for the car comes from a 4,799cc engine fitted with Bi-VANOS and VALVETRONIC variable valve technologies to produce 355hp. The advanced engine is capable of propelling the car from zero to 62mph in 6.5 seconds before going on to a top speed of 150mph. The 4.8-litre powerplant still records 22.6mpg on the combined cycle and emissions of 299g/km – both figures that better rival products from Porsche and Audi.

The BMW X5 4.8i M Sport costs UKP53,440 OTR in the UK. M Sport will be offered on 3.0d and 3.0si models later in 2007.
