The launch of the new 2019 BMW M5 Competition Sedan, along with the recently announced M2 Competition Coupe, marks the creation of a new product category within BMW M GmbH’s line-up, with the most powerful variants of its high-performance cars to be available in the future as standalone Competition models. This restructuring of the M portfolio has been prompted by the strong popularity of the various model-specific M Competition packages. M Competition packages were first offered for the predecessor to the current BMW M5 and are currently available for the BMW M4 Coupe, BMW M4 Convertible and BMW M3 Sedan. Some 40 percent of all previous-generation BMW M5 models sold worldwide were equipped with the M Competition package. The line-up’s crowning glory came in the form of the BMW M5 Competition Edition, which was capped at just 200 units and boasted a power output of 600 hp along with an ultra-exclusive standard specification.
BMW M GmbH is expanding its ranks of ultra-sporty CS models with the introduction of the BMW M5 CS. The limited-run, exclusive special-edition model treats four people to an extraordinary driving experience and blends standout performance attributes with an exclusive and luxurious appearance.The 4.4-litre V8 engine with 467 kW/635 hp makes the BMW M5 CS the most powerful car in the history of BMW M. Standard features include the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, which also offers a 2WD mode for pure rear-wheel drive.Rigorously applied lightweight design enables a weight saving of some 70 kilograms over the BMW M5 Competition. With retuned bearing springs at the front and rear axle and further refined damper control, the chassis has been adapted to the lower vehicle weight and the increased performance potential of the standard mixed-size Pirelli P Zero Corsa track tyres (front: 275/35 R 20, rear: 285/35 R 20).
With fresh design impulses and an extensive technology update, the BMW X5 for the Chinese automobile market is starting to continue its success story. The variants of the Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV) in the luxury class, which have been extremely popular since their market launch in China, are becoming even more attractive, above all with their increased presence on the exterior, the further developed BMW iDrive with ""QuickSelect"" and with efficient, consistently electrified engines. The new BMW X5 thus offers China ideal conditions for further expanding its position as market leader in the segment. The new BMW X5 xDrive30Li and the new BMW X5 xDrive40Li will be presented to the public for the first time at the Chengdu Motor Show on August 25, 2023.The vehicle concept of the BMW X5 xDrive30Li and BMW X5 xDrive40Li models is specifically geared towards the needs of Chinese target groups. A wheelbase that is 130 millimeters longer than the variant of the BMW X5 available in other global markets gives the rear passengers particularly generous legroom. The rear doors, which are also longer, make it easier for them to get in and out. There are also specific seats and exclusive features that increase travel comfort. The new editions of the BMW X5 for China are produced at the Dadong plant of the joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd. produced in Shenyang. Their market launch will begin in September 2023.
