2022 BMW X5 M Competition

The X5 M Competition pairs the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with an xDrive all-wheel-drive system and an eight-speed automatic, putting 616 bhp and 750 Nm through all four wheels. This 2022 (72-plate) car is finished in grey and has covered 28,127 miles, which is modest for its age. The page quotes a 0-62 mph time of 3.8 seconds and a limited top speed of 155 mph.

The specification is rich. It has the Ultimate Package, the M Drivers Package, full Merino leather in black, the Entertainment Pack and the Sky Lounge panoramic glass roof. A Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System is fitted, and exterior details include an M Carbon engine cover and carbon mirror caps. The M Drivers Package typically lifts the electronic speed limiter, so the 155 mph figure shown may be conservative for this car.

A factory-fitted towbar with a 2,700 kg rating is unusual on a car this fast. That adds some real-world utility to a performance SUV that already has a large boot and the space for family use.
