Some key design changes include the gloss-black, double bar M grille, sportier front bumper with an apron, the M gills on the side, the aerodynamic double-arm wing mirrors, new and more aggressive rear bumper, twin exhaust pipes and a roof-mounted spoiler. There are also staggered ‘M’ light-alloy wheels with 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch rims at the rear.

Under the hood lies a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that churns out 625hp and 750Nm of torque. The power is sent to all four wheels using BMW’s M xDrive all-wheel drive system, via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. BMW claims that with this set-up, the performance SUV can do the 0-100kph sprint in just 3.8 seconds and can achieve an electronically limited top-speed of 250kph.
