Munich. Black is powerful, black is exciting, and
black is exclusive: the same can be said of the new Black Fire Edition
of the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M (combined fuel consumption: 11.1
l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 258 g/km*). The two special editions
see BMW emphatically continue its success story in the Sports Activity
Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) sectors.
From August 2017, both cars will be available in a variant that
visualises all the strengths of the BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M. The Black
Fire Edition combines exciting exterior and interior design with
high-class, exclusive furnishing details. The special edition pairs
all this with the impressive driving dynamics and power delivery of
the BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M models.
.
Impressive design.
No matter what terrain the BMW X5 M Edition Black Fire and the BMW X6
M Edition Black Fire find themselves on, these special models cut a
fine figure on any route. The rich shade of black in the Sapphire
Black Metallic paintjob alone catches the eye. The same and more can
be said of the black M double kidney with black bars. It is a unique
feature of the Black Fire Edition.
This also applies to the forged 21-inch M alloy wheels in black.
These large wheels with mixed-sized tyres (front: 10 J x 21, rear:
11.5 J x 21) are weight-optimised and instrumental in transferring the
power generated by the M TwinPower Turbo Technology to the road.
Another distinguishing feature of the Black Fire Edition are the
standard carbon mirror caps. They accentuate the lightweight design of
both models and show the close relationship between both the BMW X5 M
and BMW X6 M and motorsport.
Motorsport feel on the inside.
Great emphasis is also placed on premium quality and exclusivity
inside the BMW X5 M Edition Black Fire and BMW X6 M Edition Black
Fire. Fully-electric M multifunctional seats with integrated headrests
come as standard in full fine-grain Merino leather, in contrasting
Black and Mugello Red. The fine tone is underlined by the contrasting
red seams on the full leather upholstery, which also includes the
central console. The feel and colour of the BMW Individual headliner
in anthracite, another feature of this special edition, makes it the
perfect complement to the premium full leather upholstery. The
interior trim shines in piano finish black. The logo of the X5 M or X6
M Edition Black Fire, which adorns the right side of the interior trim
on the passenger side of the car, also shows that there is something
special about the car.
As well as the standard, multifunctional M leather steering wheel
with aluminium shift paddles, the BMW M Performance Alcantara steering
wheel with light-blue leather motorsport accent is also available as
an option and at no extra charge. It not only creates a racing
feeling, but also boasts an eye-catching design and extremely
prevalent gripping area made from Alcantara – for optimal grip in all
temperatures. This is perfectly suited to the impressive driving
performance and dynamics demonstrated by every BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M.
Power on the streets.
Both models generate a top performance of 423 kW/575 hp (both:
combined fuel consumption: 11.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 258
g/km*) from the 4.4-litre V8 engine. Both cars do 0 to 100 km/h in
just 4.2 seconds with the standard 8-speed M Steptronic gearbox. The
maximum torque of 750 Nm produces impressive drive in the rpm range
between 2,200 und 5,000 min-1. The xDrive four-wheel drive
system has been set up with a rear-wheel bias, which improves the
agility of the BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M. The Dynamic Performance Control
system seamlessly distributes the drive torque between the rear wheels.
In combination with the outstanding deceleration values of the M
compound brakes, which boast excellent deceleration values, precise
dosage, light weight and increased thermal stability, everything is in
place to allow an agile and dynamic driving style. The unmistakable
sound of the M TwinPower turbo engine makes the impressive performance
of both models audible, thus providing an extremely emotional driving
experience. The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) also allows every
driver to adapt the sportiness of their BMW X5 M or BMW X6 M to any
situation and to suit their individual preferences, at the push of a
button. In “DSC on” mode, the brake interventions work to prevent
understeer and oversteer. “MDM” allows greater wheel slip, meaning
ambitious drivers are able to perform small drifts. Deactivating DSC
(“DSC off”) makes it possible to explore the limits on the racetrack,
and to use the accelerator pedal to get the car drifting.
The new special editions will be available starting in August 2017.
