M Performance Parts for the 2019 BMW X5

Buyers of the all-new fourth-generation BMW X5 will be able to adorn their vehicles with various M Performance Parts. Many are purely cosmetic, but some also improve the aerodynamics or reduce the overall weight.

A selection of carbon fibre components includes air intake trims, bumper winglets, door mirror caps and a rear diffuser. Matt black foil appliqués for the lower body sides add further visual impact.

Also available are 22” Star Spoke wheels which are reckoned to be around 4 kg (8 lbs) lighter per set than the regular rims. Alternatively, customers can order 20” matt black alloys that come shod with all-terrain tyres.

Mechanical upgrades focus on the brakes. Larger 19” perforated discs are being offered, along with special red-painted aluminium calipers.

While an X5 is unlikely to be used on track, the M Performance Drive Analyser might interest anybody who likes data logging. It comprises a smartphone app plus a small device that plugs into the on-board diagnostic socket.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
