BMW quietly killed the "base" X5 M at its 2024 facelift — only the Competition survived, meaning every X5 M built since is the more powerful one.
The G05's M50i revived a V8 under the X5 hood after the previous generation's M-Performance trim ran on a six-cylinder diesel in most markets.
BMW built a stretched, China-only version of this X5 — the G18 — with a wheelbase 13 cm longer than the regular car, matching the wheelbase of the flagship X7 and XM.
At launch, this X5 M's twin-turbo V8 was the single most powerful engine BMW had ever bolted into an all-wheel-drive car — 567 hp sent through xDrive.
This X5's armored Security model is built in two countries at once — assembled at BMW's Spartanburg plant in the US, then its actual armor fitted at a separate plant in Toluca, Mexico.
The E70 X5 M was the first time BMW's M division ever bolted a turbocharger onto a V8 — 555 horsepower from an engine family that had always been naturally aspirated before it.
The E70 X5 was the first production car anywhere to use FlexRay, a high-speed electronic bus so fast it was reserved just for talking to the adaptive suspension.
BMW's first X5 was all-wheel drive on paper but tuned to feel like a sedan — 62% of the engine's torque went to the rear wheels on purpose, chasing RWD handling over typical SUV manners.
