2023 X5 M Exterior

The exterior of the X5 M is handsome yet menacing. Massive dual-slat kidney grilles are flanked by Icon adaptive LED headlights, while model-specific wing mirrors add to the sporty look. A fender vent on each side and 21-inch wheels (22s are available for the rear) add to the muscular look further, while the rear features a huge diffuser housing quad-exit exhaust tips. Like other M-badged BMWs, this one features Shadowline exterior trim. On top, a panoramic moonroof and a roof spoiler complete the look. Spec the Competition package, and you'll get the Extended Shadowline treatment with gloss black replacing the remaining chrome items, such as the grille surround.

Dimensions

The dimensions of the BMW X5 M are in line with those of its rivals. Length measures 195 inches, which is the same measurement you'll find on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S, while the wheelbase measures 117 inches. Width is calculated at 79.3 inches without the mirrors. Ground clearance is claimed to be 8.3 inches, although we doubt many of these will ever see a dirt road. Height is 68.9 inches, while the curb weight starts at 5,455 pounds. Interestingly, the Range Rover Sport SVR is lighter, at 5,070 lbs. The Cayenne Turbo is also lighter, at 5,056 lbs.

Exterior Colors

There's a large selection of colors for the X5 M, most of which won't add anything to the cost of your car. As is typical of BMW, one such color is Alpine White, but metallic finishes like Carbon Black, Black Sapphire, Mineral White, Marina Bay Blue, Donington Grey, Manhattan Green, and Toronto Red are also available at no charge. If these aren't to your liking, Tanzanite Blue II and Ametrin are also on offer, now joined by the Dravit Grey, but these three cost $1,950 each. That Tanzanite Blue is worth the money though, and certainly makes the X5 M stand out in a way that is not vulgar. Plus, it matches the standard caliper color too.
