The hottest and hardcore M SUVs are scheduled to land in South Africa in the next month or so and thanks to local carblog Zero2Turbo, we have local pricing.
BMW South Africa will be bringing in only the Competition derivatives of the X5 M and X6 M, meaning we'll be getting the high-output derivatives only. Power comes from a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, with outputs of 460 kW and 750 Nm. BMW claims sprint times of 0-100 kph in 3.8 seconds and they'll hurtle to a top speed of 290 kph.
We've already had a taste of the BMW X5 M Competition at its international launch event in the United States. We had this to say, "In terms of its dynamic talents on a challenging road, the outrageous BMW X5 M Competition is easily the finest rapid SUV the German company has produced –and it’s one of the most engaging machines of its type from any carmaker that is currently on sale." You can read the full report at the bottom of the article.
