Alfardan Automobiles, the official BMW Group Importer in Qatar, is set to unveil the all-new BMW X6M and X5M at the fifth edition of the Qatar Motor Show taking place from February 6 to 10 at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
Besides the regional debut of the two high-performance vehicles, the all-new BMW 2 Series Convertible will also be launched during the event.
Regardless whether the location is a racetrack, city street or a desert road, the X6M and X5M, the newest additions to the BMW M GmbH stable, set the benchmark in terms of driving dynamics and outstanding efficiency in the high-performance Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) segment.
Armed with a striking M design and distinctive high-class interior for a potent and dynamic presence, both the X6M and X5M are powered by the latest-generation 4.4-litre V8 M TwinPower Turbo engine, using innovative M TwinPower Turbo technology to push torque and output to even higher performance levels, with both the X5M and X6M sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.
“Thanks to their superior power and precision, the all-new BMW X6M and all-new X5M deliver an unprecedented level of performance in every situation. I am confident that they will stand out from the crowd,” said Mohamed Kandeel, chief operating officer, Alfardan Group – Automotive Operations.
The X5M and X6M have been designed for use on the road, combining the raised seating position of an all-wheel-drive X model with the sporting appeal of the BMW M automobile.
These elite sports machines cut a low-slung figure on the road, while mixed tyres showcase their sporty track width.
The X6M and X5M hold high-quality interior combining sporty features, exclusive materials and flawless workmanship.
With the new M TwinPower Turbo engine, the X5M and X6M have the most powerful unit ever developed by BMW for an all-wheel-drive vehicle. Boasting innovative M TwinPower Turbo technology with a pair of TwinScroll turbochargers, cross-bank exhaust manifolds, VALVETRONIC and High Precision Direct Petrol Injection, the 4.4-litre V8 produces maximum output of 423 kW/575 hp.
From 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds through the standard eight speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, top speed is limited to 250kmph (155mph). At the same time, the fuel consumption and CO? levels of both models has been cut by 20%.
The Qatar Motor Show will also be the venue for the unveiling of the all-new BMW 2 Series Convertible.
Offering an ultra-intense open-top driving experience, its sporty and elegant lines outstrip that of its premium compact rivals.
The 2 Series will be available in three engine variants including the BMW 220i, two-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, and BMW 228i Convertible two-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
