After the unveiling of the refreshed 2011 BMW X5, the German carmaker recently announced that it is giving the luxury SUV an M Sports Package. The upgrade will include a kit to improve the visuals of both the interiors and the body. The chassis of the car will also be tuned to improve performance.
The exterior of the X5 M Sports Package will give the SUV color coded bumpers with fog lights, new side moldings, and extended arches to accommodate a 19 and 20 inch set of rims with V spokes.
The upgrade kit will also give the car a new set of special tailpipes. The 6-cylinder variant will have the trapezoidal tailpipes used by the regular X5 xDrive50i.
BMW also adds an M Aerodynamics kit, door sills, and roof rails in chrome. The designers also installed Park Distance Control and the Side View technology on the bumpers of the X5.
The two front seats are electronically adjustable with the driver able to get his hands on leather steering wheel as part of the M label upgrade. An M footrest is also installed to further improve the driving experience.
The handling of the vehicle was enhanced with changes to the active steering and adaptive drive systems. The 2011 X5 and its sibling M Sport Package will be uncovered next week in Geneva and are expected to hit dealerships by spring – can’t wait to see if BMW delivers!
