2024 BMW X5 M Competition // Killer Performance, Questionable Luxury for $120k+ // Full Review

The BMW X5 M gets a refresh for the 2024 model year, with lots of new goodies under the hood. The big news is the all new S68 engine, replacing the outgoing S63. It's a 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8 mild-hybrid that makes 617-hp and 553 lb-ft of torque (at least on paper). The X5 M is available in competition form only for 2024, with xDrive and a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission being standard as well. The transmission has been updated, with the three lowest gears clustered tightly together, and widening up for five through eight. Along with performance, this luxury crossover provides space for the family and tons of great creature comforts, but you'll have to go well over the $120,000 starting price in order to get all those luxury features. Let's go ahead and take a look.

Would you drop $120k+ on an X5 M? What's your pick for luxury-performance crossover?

[@JRB41]

X5 M all day - GLE 63S, Audi RSQ8, and Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid are all more expensive while looking worse and performing worse. Would like a 911 Turbo S as a second car

[@augustusoakes4671]

Yes and yes - but gotta say the X5 M60i is a solid option for 30k less.

100 points for BMW having spare wheel.

[@clemsondds]

How did it compare to a Cayenne Turbo GT or Cayenne s? Which would you prefer? thanks

[@GearboxCarReviews]

I wish I could help, but I don't have enough experience with the newer Cayennes to give you accurate info. I tend to prefer Porsches in general, but again, haven't been in the new one. Would love to hear your thoughts if you end up with one or the other!

Not good for shipping illegals but good for high valley assets and out running the cops ?

[@GearboxCarReviews]

I didn't get a chance to try either of those things, but maybe I can get it back for some more thorough testing
