Part 1: Introduction

Simply put, the 2012 BMW X5M is designed to attract attention and seems to get it in abundance. If you ask BMW what type of car they love to design and build most, the answer would most likely be a sports utility vehicle; the faster, the better! And if their latest offering-X5M-is anything to go by, BMW is firmly in the driver's seat in the sophisticated SUV category. Their latest X5M SUV is rolled out with exceptional looks and equipped for unrivalled performance.

The BMW X5M has an all-wheel drive system for both manual and automatic variants, which puts it in the center of the ball park, no matter what terrain you choose. Featuring a new engine, comfortable seating and deluxe design, this SUV is a conqueror on and off road. The X5M is comparable to Land Rover's Range Rover Sport and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Weighing in at 5,350 pounds, its performance is aided by a sports-tuned suspension along with adaptive dampers.
