BMW X5 M SUV 2017 pictures

The BMW X5 M is a powerful version of the X5 family SUV with the acceleration of a sports car

With a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre petrol V8, it has 567bhp and gets from 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds

This makes it quicker off the mark than a Range Rover Sport SVR

It's also just 0.1 seconds behind the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, and has a top speed limited to 155mph

Adaptive M suspension, 20-inch wheels with huge tyres and four-wheel-drive harness its power

Despite its performance, the BMW X5 M is almost as practical as the regular version

Fuel consumption of just 25mpg and a 37% Benefit-in-Kind rating make the X5 M expensive to run

An aggressive bodykit and standard LED headlights help set the X5 M apart from other versions

The X5 M gets Merino leather upholstery as standard, along with black headlining

The infotainment system is controlled with the intuitive iDrive system and offers connected services

Enhanced brakes sit behind huge 20-inch alloy wheels, providing ample stopping power

The iconic BMW kidney grille gets an M badge just in case bystanders don't hear the quad exhaust

Adaptive LED headlights automatically adjust for oncoming traffic and different driving conditions

Quad exhaust pipes emit a sound not many people expect from a two-tonne SUV

Unique door mirrors help reduce aerodynamic drag and give the X5 M a distinctive look
