BMW X5 M and X6 M Get Exclusive by Doing What Everybody Else Is Doing



Like Dylan from Chappelle’s Show, the BMW X5 M and X6 M already spit hot fire. Not literally, as a Lamborghini Aventador might, but both pack the same twin-turbo V-8 with a ground-scorching 567 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, good for zero-to-60-mph times of 3.8 seconds (X5) and 3.7 seconds (X6) in our testing. And now, BMW has created Black Fire Edition packages for both cars. Only 200 will arrive in the United States.
On the outside, the Black Fire Edition looks pretty much like any other blacked-out trim package. The SUVs are painted Sapphire Black Metallic (a color that is already available on regular models), wear carbon-fiber side-mirror caps, roll on black 21-inch M-branded forged-alloy wheels, and snort through blacked-out M-badged kidney grilles.
The well-appointed interior is where things get a little more fiery. BMW used two-color black and Mugello Red leather with contrast stitching on the seats, door panels, the underside of the dashboard, and the center console. It also has a BMW M Performance alcantara-covered steering wheel with a light blue leather insert that’s intended to recall BMW’s motorsport ties.
