Supreme power, an imposing thirst for forward progress and extravagant styling allow the new BMW X5 M Competition and new BMW X6 M Competition to carve out a unique place for themselves on the world's roads.

Their performance attributes set new standards and now they are also raising the bar once again in terms of exclusivity. The First Edition specification accentuates the effervescent and distinctive character of the BMW M models in the luxury Sports Activity Vehicle and Sports Activity Coupe segments to particularly stylish effect.

Precisely coordinated design cues for the exterior and interior lend the new BMW X5 M Competition and new BMW X6 M Competition the status of intoxicating rarities of their respective segments.

Their air of exclusivity creates the ideal environment in which to enjoy the unmistakable driving experience laid on by a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 616bhp and 760Nm of torque, M-specific suspension and M xDrive all-wheel drive. Only 250 units each of these two models will be produced at BMW Plant Spartanburg in the U.S.A.

The exclusive BMW Individual Frozen Dark Silver special paint finish showcases the exterior design of the new BMW X5 M Competition and new BMW X6 M Competition to extremely impressive effect. This matte paint finish showcases the muscular proportions, clear forms and signature M details of the body design regardless of how the light hits the car.

The two special-edition cars can also be specified with the BMW Individual Frozen Marina Bay Blue special paint finish.

light-alloy wheels in star-spoke design with a Jet Black, high-gloss finish are available exclusively for the special-edition models. The wheels are 21-inches at the front and 22-inches at the rear and are fitted with mixed-size tyres. The exterior styling also includes selected body elements made from Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP).

BMW Individual Merino full leather trim in exclusive bi-colour Silverstone/Midnight Blue ensures the interior and BMW Individual paint finishes fit together neatly. Black Alcantara inserts in the seat bolsters and contrast stitching in Sakhir Orange emphasise the sporting contours of the M multifunction seats.

The eye-catching contrast stitching also bring distinctive flourishes to the door panel trim and instrument panel. Taking its cue from the leather-covered instrument panel, the BMW Individual headliner in Alcantara is likewise in Midnight Blue.

The high-tech and extremely lightweight material CFRP also features in the interior of the special-edition models. Adornments include Carbon Fibre interior trim strips available in a special, market-specific design.

The silver-coloured 'First Edition 1/250' lettering is applied to the carbon-fibre strip to highlight the exclusive character of the special-edition models. If these interior trim strips are specified, the model badge on the cup holders cover also has the same design.
