The German luxury automaker BMW is working on its high performance 2024 BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M Competition SUVs that is expected to commence production in April for a summer release after making their debut at Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance.
The earlier X5 M and X6 M models offered the Competition package as an option. This is soon after the release of the manufacturer’s updated X5 and X6 SUVs with better-driving assistance features and a more powerful engine.
2024 BMW X5 M and X6 M Competition Exteriors and Interiors
In the exteriors department, the upcoming Competition SUVs will portray a revised front end when compared to their predecessors. Both the 2024 BMW X5 M and X6 M Competition cars will have a black X-shaped design integrated in the front kidney grille and is surrounded by the same bodywork as in the earlier models. The X6 M Competition will additionally sport a black spoiler lip on the apron on its front for aerodynamics optimization that makes it appear to have lower ground clearance than the X5 M Competition.
