What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
The latest version of the 4,4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, developed by BMW’s M Division in Munich, produces a new high of 460 kW and 750 Nm of torque. This is sufficient to give this huge vehicle hypercar-like acceleration. The 0-100 km/h sprint time is dealt with in a mere 3,8 seconds, which is some 0.4 seconds quicker than the Previous X5 and X6 M model. Top speed is in excess of 280 km/h
