In the quest for holding supremacy in the SUV segment, BMW launched the all-new 2019 X5 a few months ago, while recently adding the impressive X7 to its portfolio, the latter one representing the carmaker`s ultimate challenge in delivering German engineering at its highest level.

However, should you have missed seeing the X5 in the flesh, you can take a look at the model below being exposed at BMW`s most important dealership in the world which is located in Abu Dhabi.

The 2019 BMW X5 we see at BMW Adu Dhabi Motors in the xDrive50i guise normally costs at least $75,570 in the United States; however, with all the accessories this one here comes with, the price might easily skyrocket to at least $100,000.

What makes it so exotic and special at the same time – like any other fine BMW touching the floor at the dealership – is the striking paintjob at the exterior. It is about the Phytonic Blue Metallic which details the car`s each styling cue and provides it with a more aggressive attitude.

Besides the gorgeous exterior colour, this lad here also comes with much bigger alloy wheels, updated front and rear bumpers, as well as an assortment of M features.

The exterior is complemented inside with the same M treatment with main emphasis on the brown leather upholstery and wood inserts which improve the luxury feel. There is also the high-tech suite like the new digital instrument cluster and the massive 12.3-inch infotainment system with all the gadgetries on-board.

Even if we are at BMW Abu Dhabi Motors, don’t expect any modifications to the engine. The 2019 BMW X5 xDrive50i comes equipped with a standard 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that develops no less than 455 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. That allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in an amazing 4.6 seconds, which is quite impressive for such a large vehicle.

The 2019 BMW X5 xDrive50i at BMW Abu Dhabi Motor is thoroughly detailed in the media gallery below. Enjoy!

BMW announced the all-new 2019 G50 BMW X5 back in June and will be officially unveiled this October, which means that the model will still be keeping the headlines of every major auto magazine for a while. Now, we present to you, our faithful readers, with a gorgeous media gallery of BMW`s most spectacular X5 ever built.

Arriving at the 2018 Paris Motor Show next month, the 2019 G50 BMW X5 has been branded the finest X5 model in terms of looks and technology. We should also add the new power and performance which makes it quite a player in the segment.

Speaking of performance, for the moment, the all-new 2019 G50 BMW X5 is available in only two petrol burners and a diesel variant; the xDrive40i and the xDrive30d, both with enhanced performance. The first variant is equipped with a B58 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo engine, developing 340 horsepower, while the latter takes its 462 horsepower from a 4.4-liter V8 turbo. On the diesel side, the xDrive30d is packed with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, with a good 262 horsepower.

BMW has also recently announced the plug-in hybrid variant in the shape of the X5 xDrive45e iPerformance which uses a 3.0-liter Twin-Power Turbo six-cylinder petrol engine, paired to an electric motor. The conventional engine outputs 286 horsepower while the electric adds another 110 horsepower. With a total of 388 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque, the new X5 xDrive45e iPerformance is now more powerful and more fuel efficient.

Later on, other high-performance range of engines borrowed from the 5-Series will be added as well, meaning 2.0-liter four-, 3.0-liter six- and 4.4-liter eight-cylinder turbocharged petrol burners. The diesel range will also receive 2.0-liter four- and 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo pots. On top of all stands the almighty X5M which uses the same monster engine seen on the M5 – the 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbocharged pot with a staggering 592 horsepower and xDrive all-wheel Drive.

From a visual standpoint, the 2019 BMW G50 X5 impresses with an extremely muscular design language, now coming with sculpted contours, increased wheelbase and plenty of new styling characteristics.

Speaking of wheelbase, the new SUV is more imposing, gaining an extra 1ʺ in height, as well as 1.1ʺ in length, that meaning increased space inside as well for passengers and their luggage.

The new G50 stands on the carmaker`s newest CLAR platform, also underpinning the new 7-Series, and comes with new enhancements like new suspension with double wishbone front axle and five-line rear axle.

Inside, the cabin impresses the audience with the latest high-tech gadgetries. You should be pretty amazed by the new digitalized instrument cluster which is flanked by a massive central touchscreen which controls the car`s functions, along with a new switchgear and buttons on the lower center console. All in contrast with the finest materials on the dashboard or seats.

With BMW unveiling the latest generation of the X5 midsized luxury SUV more than three months ago, it was just a matter of time until the high-performance plug-in hybrid variant would make its appearance in the range list, thus joining the xDrive40i, xDrive50i and the xDrive30d.

The model in question is the long-expected 2019 X5 xDrive45i iPerformance, which is regarded as one of the most imposing hybrids from BMW`s entire range.

Besides the massive size and extremely appealing design language, the SUV`s main highlight is the hybrid drivetrain under the hood. It`s what makes the variant more powerful and more efficient than the ongoing model released back in 2016.

We are dealing here with a 3.0-liter Twin-Power Turbo six-cylinder petrol engine, paired to an electric motor. The conventional engine outputs 286 horsepower while the electric adds another 110 horsepower. With a total of 388 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque, the new X5 xDrive45e iPerformance is now more powerful and more fuel efficient.

The amazing performance figures are also achieved thanks to an eight-speed automatic transmission paired to an all-wheel drive system, which comes standard. Other characteristics will be added later on, like electronically controlled dampers or air suspension.

Speaking of fuel-efficiency, the car`s lithium-ion battery pack allows you to drive the SUV for around 80 km without no fuel and at a top speed of 140 km/h, which is another plus compared with the ongoing model.

As for acceleration, the 2019 BMW X5 iDrive45e iPerformance is also quite impressive. At a top speed of 235 km/h it can hit 100 km/h in an outstanding 5.6 seconds. Again, compared with its predecessor, it`s 1 second faster.

As for its availability on the market, we`ve got some pretty bad news for the US customers, as the model will arrive overseas somewhere in 2020. In Europe however, you will be able to get a taste of the new plug-in hybrid sooner, in early 2019.

You can admire the all-new 2019 BMW X5 iDrive45e iPerformance in the media gallery released below. Enjoy and don’t forget to share your impressions with us!

The all-new 2019 BMW X5 leaked a couple of days ago, has finally reached its destination in a new form. It is bigger, wider and sounds more powerful – at least that`s what the company states about the new model in the official trailer below.

Visually, at the front, the 2019 BMW X5 features a prominent front grille with smaller headlights which resemble those from the new X3, while the horizontal intake between the grille and air dam provides a more aggressive look; the rear end is also fresh, featuring new taillights with a fresh outline. The rear bumper also features trapezoidal tailpipe finishers which replace the round tips.

The overall design language is complemented by the new wheels, with size ranging between 19- to 22-inch V-spoke alloy wheels.

Sitting on the company`s new CLAR platform, the all-new 2019 BMW X5 has bigger dimensions, shedding off as well some significant weight and coming with increased driving dynamics. It thus rides on a 42mm longer wheelbase, while it is 36mm longer and 66mm wider as well.

The interior brings the latest high-tech gizmos, such as BMW`s latest iDrive 7.0 media system, with 12.3-inch digital screen, or 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver. There is also the Top View, along with Panorama View or 3D View systems, all part of the Parking Assist Plus. Customers can also opt for two 10.2-inch HD touch-screens with two USB ports, HDMI socket with two headphones jacks or DVD playback.

The company is also offering the latest safety systems, such as Lane Change Warning and Lane Departure Warning, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Side Collision Protection, Evasion Aid, Priority Warning & Wrong-Way Warning and Crossing Traffic Warning.

As for the engines under the hood, the all-new 2019 BMW X5 comes equipped with no less than four powertrains, like the US-spec X5 xDrive50i with 462 horsepower, as well as the X5 xDrive40i with 340 horsepower, and two diesel inline six-cylinder engines, with 400 horsepower (X5 M50d) and 265 horsepower (X5 xDrive30d). All variants come with the standard xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive, along with the optional Off-Raod package with two-axle air suspension.

The post 2019 BMW X5 – Official Trailer Reveals Bigger Size, Outputs More appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

Without a doubt the BMW X5 is one of the most iconic models released by the German automaker in its history. With the recent launch of several powerful SUV designs, the folks over at G-Power decided to improve the BMW X5 M in order for it to keep up with the newer and more powerful models released by BMW’s competition.

Like we’ve already come to expect, G-Power provides two specific tweak stages, depending on what each particular customer expects from his vehicle. The first stage makes use of specific tweaks to raise the power of the 4.4 liter bi-turbo V8 from 575HP to a staggering 641HP. If this is not enough to convince you, the second stage adds even more power allowing the BMW X5 M’s engine to output 690HP. With the latest tweaks installed, G-Power managed to further improve the performance of the X5 M by allowing the vehicle’s engine to produce an incredible 739HP.

Apart from engine tweaks, the folks over at G-Power also managed to change the aspect of the vehicle. The aggressive look of the BMW X5 M is the result of added visual tweaks. The new rims, the new hood and the new fender flares improve the car’s personality while keeping its core features untouched. The added upgrades fit well with the original design of the car. There is a great sense of cohesiveness with this particular project build.

The BMW X5 M by G-Power is a vehicle that any real BMW fan would love to own in his private collection. The sheer power of the vehicle is astonishing. The amount of passion put in this particular build seems to have been limitless. This particular BMW X5 M is a feast beast. It could easily compete with some of the fastest cars out there. Even though the exact price tag for each upgrade stage is not clear, it is safe to assume that the price will be directly tied to the amount of added performance.

No matter how you look at it, this BMW X5 M is one of the most interesting project builds developed by G-Power up to this point. Provided you have a BMW X5 M and are willing to spend quite a bit of cash, G-Power is without a doubt one of the best choices when it comes to upgrading your vehicle to the maximum. With this particular project build, G-Power has proved once again what it’s capable of.

While the upcoming BMW M140 from the 1-Series is still getting its hard testing on the Ring, other test mules like the new X5 SUV and the long-awaited BMW 8-Series Coupe were seen spotted for some road tests in Slovenia.

Thesd are not the first spy photos with the two models, but it is definitely a premiere seeing them cruising together and still wearing heavy camouflage. That means that both of them are still faraway from their official unveiling next year.

Just as expected, both new models will be sharing the same CLAR modular architecture, also underpinning the new 5-Series and 7-Series, meaning more lightweight materials and a wide range of engines underneath their skin. The same platform will also allow for a Convertible and a hardcore M8 variant in the 8-Series.

Following latest spy shots in Copenhagen this spring, the all-new BMW X5 is back into the spotlights with its final shape. It looks refreshed with the much larger kidney grilles, more accentuated shark nose and smaller taillights.

Inside, the cabin is also likely to borrow the technological suite from the new 5-Series, while in the engine department we will see a wide range of petrol burners and diesels. Thanks to the same CLAR platform, the new X5 SUV will also shed off around 300 kg, improving the car`s handling characteristics and fuel economy.

As for the upcoming 8-Series, the model will take its design language from the 8-Series Concept, but the heavy camouflage won`t reveal its final shape; at least not just yet. Inside, the cabin of the 8-Series test mule is also likely to borrow the Concept`s technological goodies and design. Thus, we expect to see at least the same gauge cluster or button configuration.

As for the future M8, the top range model is set to “be built on the genes of the 8-Series and augment its DNA with added track ability and generous extra portions of dynamic sharpness, precision and agility,” as BMW M chief Frank van Meel, once declared. The engine lineup technical details for the new 8-Series and M8 remain hidden at the moment.

BMW is busy planning, testing out and launching new models on markets worldwide, the German carmaker focusing on a new design language and more advanced technologies, all set to revolutionize the entire auto industry.

And SUVs like the newly-arrived BMW X7 are standing novation on that matter. However, there are other models that still far away from getting a complete makeover, like the present X5 and X6. Even so, both models will remain appealing and attractive as BMW has decided to wrap them up with some special editions.

We are dealing thus with the 2018 BMW X5 Special Edition and X6 M Sport, both coming with improved visual characteristics and tweaked interiors.

Starting with the 2018 BMW X5 Special Edition, the new model is standing out from the crowd with the M Sport package. At the exterior, the new X5 Special Edition is now available with much bigger alloy wheels and updated exhaust system.

Most of the M goodies are found inside, comprising Dakota leather trim, seat leather with Alcantara/leather upholstery combo in Anthracite/Black with M logos, protection glass, Multifunctional Instrument Display, as well as BMW Individual extended leather upholstery Merino.

As for the 2018 BMW X6 M Sport, the model is now available in Long Beach Blue metallic exterior wrap. However, for extra cash, the model can also be had with Carbon Black or Mineral White Metallic finishes.

Other features at the exterior also refer to M Sport Package with 20-inch M lightweight alloy wheels, available in double-spoke design with mixed-size runflat tires. The interior is highlighted by the same treatment as the X5 Special Edition – M logos on the seats, Alcantara or leather upholstery, custom floor mats, leather upholstery Merino in five colours and much more.

As for price tags, the German based carmaker has not released any details on that matter for the moment. We surely hope for good news soon, as there are plenty of BMW customers looking forward to buying these special editions. Stay tuned!

The post BMW Launches New 2018 X5 Special Edition & X6 M Sport appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

German carmaker BMW is currently planning and preparing to launch a wide range of new models, especially with the upcoming 2017 Paris Motor Show, opening its gates starting with 25th of November.

While we have heard great news of the upcoming X4 and X4 M, there haven’t been any fresh details on the new X5. And even if we all thought the new model would be left aside, thanks to recent reports, we now have some details concerning the petrol engine lineup that the 2019 BMW X5 is supposed to comprise in the United States alone.

The model is set to arrive in the second quarter of 2019 and will stand on the company`s new and most advanced CLAR architecture, which comprises new and more lightweight materials, meaning increased performance, bigger space inside and lower fuel consumption. The X5 will also share plenty of mechanical characteristics with its bigger siblings, the X6 and the newly launched BMW X7.

Besides the shared CLAR architecture and technology suite, the BMW X5 SUV will stand out from the crows with a new petrol engine lineup, available in the sDrive40i, xDrive40i and xDrive50i variants.

Starting with the X5 40i, the entry-level variant will comprise a 3.0-liter straight six B58 engine, with 335 horsepower in the standard shape. The M Performance variant will add around 15 horsepower more. The rest of the lineup will be equipped with an N63 4.4-liter V8 mill, a completely new engine with 465 horsepower, which is way too impressive than today`s M550i model.

According to the same reports, BMW has also leaked out some of the engines that will equip the 2019 BMW X5 outside the US market, be it petrol burners or diesels. The entry-level xDrive30d for instance will come with a B57 engine with 265 horsepower, while the xDrive40d will churn out 320 horsepower. On the other hand, the top of the line M50d will feature a new B57S quad-turbo engine with 400 horsepower.

The BMW German based automaker is preparing to line-up its SUV fleet in the US, namely the X1, X3, X4, X5 and X6, already hitting the Spartanburg plant, in South Carolina, with the X7 to complete the list.
