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.

Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
