The new #BMWM X6M and X5M Facelifts are here - and a significant update in the LCI (life cycle impulse) for the #BMW performance SUV duo. They arrive at an interesting time, when the new BMW XM is making the wrong kind of waves, this duo brings a more traditional format of pure combustion in a lighter set up.
Well, almost pure, because now every X6 and X5 now comes with a 48 volt
Mild Hybrid system, including our M Models for the first time, thus these are the first M Models to feature mild hybrid tech!
Big changes in the new V8 engine update, still the 4.4 litre bit with a cross-bank exhaust manifold for better thermal management, a reinforced crankshaft drive and updated turbocharging! (Just like in the XM!) This gives a big kick of power, up to 625HP now, with 750NM and an impressive 0-60 in 3.9 seconds.
The hybrid change connects to this in the form of an electrified eight-speed automatic gearbox, which has a mild hybrid system built within it to give a small HP boost alongside 200NM immediately. The gearbox also comes with hydraulic transmission mounts giving a stiffer connection between the drive train and body. BMW has also developed a ‘near-actuator wheel slip limitation’ system that works in conjunction with the AWD set-up, rear diff, stability control - it now works 10 times faster than conventional traction control.
A big change needed comes to steering, where there’s also speed-sensitive electric power steering, with a revised steering gear on both models. We also get Adaptive M suspension Professional with updated electronically controlled dampers and active roll stabilisation. Dampers now act faster, to allow better comfort and sporty response respectively. Toe in values on the rear have been adjusted for high speeds They have also worked on rigidity around the whole car, with further bracing, bridges and arms to help dynamics.
Big news also for the BMW X6 M60i, which now uses the same V8 BMW M engine S68, replacing the outgoing N63 engine, it’s a proper M engine in a standard BMW! And the M60i also looks fantastic.
But perhaps not as fantastic as the new X5M and X6M - with all new front end aggression. We have New lights, which may mimic new 5 series. They are slimmer than the older ones - and complement the massive grille change. Grille looks amazing in gloss and matte black, and linking to the lower bumper. We have Staggered wheels as before, and the X6M gets spoiler lip and rear spoiler too. Big changes inside with BMW Operating System 8 pro, a huge curved LED screen replacing the old tech - I’ll show you every detail too along with a boost space comparison between X5 and X6!
Up next on on RBR is the long term test of the Audi RS6! Followed by the New 5 Series Unveil! Subscribe to support us and see them first. :)

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
I found him for help and guidance on telegramx.
Whoever redesigned these needs a huge raise. Best redesign we’ve seen in the last 6 years
@@Bulliegh Naw i get your point but what they did to my 440i gran coupe should be jailable. Babbon A ss front grill boxer body not as sleek as the earlier 440i model.
Can’t say the same for the new 5 series look
they made it look worse tbh
@@AbdullaFilmAS thats the point @kristofk1902 is trying to make.
Designer sucks ass lmao
It’s the X6 M for me! I ordered mine and picked it up last Wednesday! I absolutely love mine! It’s black with red/orange leather! Absolutely stunning!
the new one?
how did u get the new one that fast?
@@Evan_Performance my dealership had their first allocation waiting for me. My salesman said 6 weeks it would arrive and he was spot on. I absolutely love it!! I had it ceramic coated yesterday and it’s even more stunning!
@Cody C i want one so bad in isle of mann green.
that shi looks so good
The x6 is my dream car at the moment
These look so good in person
X5M is still the better vehicle, at least for me
Yup it is
thats alright... but for me X6M all day
mommy car
@@madzmadeit if that's a mommy car then i will be a mom
@@yashmanngender dysphoria will not be tolerated
I thought the 2nd gen X6's design was unsalvageable, I'm surprised they managed to fix it. Was it so hard to continue on the footsteps of the original X6 ?
that x6M is my dream machine...what a car. well done again from the kings of engineering. Germany we love you👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥
BMW will always be about a personal performance car for the driver. I’ve driven both x5 and x6. My personal experience is that the X5 is more roomy. The x6 is more sporty. Like the reviewer mentioned it has better aerodynamics. As a a happy car guy such as myself who isn’t married as of yet. Driving the X6 was one of the test drive I’ve driven! No lag as mentioned and 0-60 under four seconds on the interstates speed ramp! ❤ The new technologies inside the vehicles are amazing with the hand motion sensors. Assisted full 360 view for self parking. I think financing six figures into this the next 36-60 months is definitely worth it. Once I get my house with a garage. Imma get a X6 M Comp!
Would go for X5 M40i or M50i as comfort is key with an SUV not lap times on a race circuit these two engines have enough poke to overtake on the motorway and that is what is needed . Great review ❤thanks
as an X5 M50i owner, this is true. 500+ Horses and a smooth ride in an SUV. If its one car that can do it all, it is this one.
Didn't even know this was out, gorgeous looking
Ufffff, the sound is nasty!! 🥵🥵
I have an x6m comp and it doesn't sound sexy at all
I thought the exhaust sounded harsh, clattery and just noisy…listen to the deep chested, understated but creamy smooth B5 Alpina…a different World!!!😀
I love the X5, never really liked the X6 don't like the rear. X5 in that white would like to see it in Matt grey too
Do they offer it in matte grey?
They got different type of grey available but grey always looks sad, white is the best color choice if you take the M sport package
@@Trackhawk_Gle53 yeah, white almost always looks good
Is the retractable rear cargo cover standard on the X5M?
Looks like you are located at the Marriott in Spartanburg, SC. I've been there plenty of times at the Performance center. 👍
Another reason why you do not need the XM. This even sounds better 🔥 even an M60i will tick all the boxes. Please review when you get one 🙏🏿
Quite possibly the best example of LCI ive seen
LOVE IT. More like this please
Do you still got your mecerdes a45 amg that you painted in green ??
does the X6m has the ambient lighting on panoramic glass like the x7?
Love the x6m
You never got back to the RBR key chain thingy you showed in the video, you said you will talk later about it in the video but didn't :(. I went through the links below and didn't find any link to your merch.
I LOVE MY X6M!!!! Its everything I could of asked for.... EVER.
Phenomenal review. Awesome editing.
X6M Competition is my goal car. Plan to get one within a few years.
I really have a good idea for BMWm? since they make digital screen on new models,they should add the previous model (instrument cluster)because everyone loves it and it’s beautiful 🤩 🙏🏼💡
I actually really like this facelift from the design team for the new X6 & X5. Can't say the same for pretty much every other new design since 2021 lmao.
From a bmw guy, I think the AMG V8’s sound better.
Only sounds better
Nice edit bro. Love it bro
Two of the most beautiful SUV/SAC.........................
That X6M ❤
Just ordered my MY25 X5, can't wait
x5m definitely the new whip. That thing is gorgeous.
Thank you Mercedes! My GLE is still up to date!
Your transition to Mr. M looks to be complete haha
Are those American spec? They sounded fairly loud.
You said it. Why couldnt these grilles be done similarly on the M4s and M3s? And what is the point of the XM?
love the 6, incredible looking coupe
That x6m is my all time number 1 car! What a gorgeous piece of automotive perfection! ❤❤❤❤
that x5 m is to die for
The X6m coupe look does it for me
Fantastic cars!
Wow, it actually looks pretty good :)
Thank you
I ordered the X5 M Competition I switched from Audi to BMW and don’t regret it one bit. X6 has less space so it’s a no go for me we’re 5 on the X5 😂
Why did the X5 sound so much better? Sports or aftermarket exhaust fitted?
X6M always the best!
Problem I have is I am still hearing stories of issues with the BMW 8 cyl.... Im going to pass on a 850i or M550 as I was interested.. I was also considering the X50i.. Cant do it..
wait so theres only hybrid version no gas versions?
Need your feedback on how quick the power goes down to the wheels. Does it match an electric car?
Finally the vs I needed to see and hear !! Good job preferly the x6m that’s the urus nightmare lol
X6!❤❤
X5 🔥
what is the x6 colour?
i love x6m but 1 thing i hate with new grills is that black plastic below kidney grill it looks cheap, huge and more like lexus and haval cars
I've always loved the X6M more than the X5M so for me, its still the same choice.
You are a very good KZheadr. ❤
Looks like Scottsdale. Solid review
Unlike most new Beemers, these two - especially the X5 - are actually pretty good looking.
X5 is mad mad.
good car
The pre LCI looks so much better at the Front
Do you think the X6 may carry a big dog in the back? Or should I have to choose an X5 instead? My question it’s because I prefer the X6! Cheers
I just cant find a reason to pick the x6, but I pick it anyway! I might own one in like 10 years from now.
i dont like SUVs , but these ones are fire
Monsters
even tho I like the new designs that BMW tries to push I feel like these are exacly what I envision for BMW rather than something like the new 7 series
2024 modell of BMW X5M with Bi-turbo V8 with 630 horsepower under Hood.
My pick X6M. I drove an X6 for seven years, and the M features would be a nice addition. I am NOT looking for a family SUV/cargo carrier. I did 10,000 km trips in the X6, and always had ample storage space, including for cross-border shopping, and resupplying my (Canadian) home on the return journey. The X6 is the ultimate highway driving car in my experience. I've never driven anything better on long highway journeys. I currently drive an X4M40i, and it serves well as a convenience and economy version of the X6 (and the 10,000 km circuits are about half the cost, with no substantial sacrifice of horsepower).
Imo should of left the front alone but the rest of the car is flawless
For my x5 m ❤❤❤
Do they have carbon ceramic brakes ?
How do we get bmw to mimic these front ends for the M3 and M4 LCI in 2025?
I have the 2021 X5M Competition. I'm really not a fan of this upgraded face lift. Sucks because my lease ends next year and I was looking forward to upgrading
You don't like the grill?
@@almac9203 Nah. I like the agressive look of my model. This new look is too "smooth" in the front
the redesign of the SUV bmw's are 10x better than the saloon imo. They look so much more aggresive now which i love.
I"ll take the white one)
what a big boy
I’ll go with the 6 the 5 is 📦 boxi looking
it lacks the popcorn cracks from the exhaust 💔
x6m for me in this color
The sun glare from that long Telsa screen is going to be problematic... 😎
i love the facelift, sad that the x6 shape and back looks weird, the x5 is the only right choice
No way, the X6M looks much more sporty. X5 looks like a box from the back.
@@swft_The X5 is my favorite car but it is true that it looks even better in real life, especially the back. The X6 is the best looking coupe SUV with the Cayenne but none is at the level of the X5 especially the facelift which is a true peace of art
X5 all day
X5. Soon to be wifey wants an X5 as well.
Holy fucking hell, I didn’t think it was possible for BMW to make a sexier and more aggressive looking X5M since the first generation X70 X5M…. Goddamn BMW!
First time i like a bmw car
First Comment. Raz is back with another episode
X5M for me
Don’t like that black insert on the front bumper..at certain angles it looks like Lexus’s spindle grill
Front bumper looked way better before, the rest is nice.
Which car sounded better? For me it was the x5m
Previous gen x6 rear looks better
Steering wheel pretty much looks the same from 10+ years ago! The only thing that puts me off getting the X6! Will go for the GLE coupe facelift instead!
X6 better overall
Isn’t this 2024?
The front grill design shouldve been what they did to the M3.. by keeping the kidney grills but adding that black to give it a mor eimposing look.
x6m all day
x6 sounds like a v8 camry
GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS I HATE THE FRONT NOSE LOOKS LIKE A RABID LEXUS I GET LOWER FASCIA WRAPPED IN BODY COLOUR LIKE THE 22 MODEL
I like the X6 front better
Rear wheels on X5 always look way too small
