BMW announces M Sport Package X5

BMW released the first official images of the M Sport Package variant of the X5 today. It is the first time the German automaker implements the tuning kit onto an SUV. The changes made include a sportier exterior and interior, and a tweaked chassis for better performance. There is no boost under the hood, which slows our excitement a bit.

The exterior features a color tone bumper with integrated fog lights, larger wheel arches to house the standard 19" wheels you get with the pack or an optional set of 20"s. The interior receives a batch of M badges everywhere, sport seats, aluminum trimmed interior, and an M steering wheel. Performance enhancements include better handling thanks to tweaks made into adaptive drive and active steering systems.

The M Sport Pack X5 will only be on sale in Europe. The 3.0si or 3.0d models can get the kit for €6,350 while the 4.8i V8 version costs €4,840. Follow the jump to view more hi-res images.
