BMW India has launched the 2015 BMW X6 M and 2015 BMW X5 M in Chennai today. Prices start from INR 1.55 crores for the BMW X5 M and INR 1.6 crores for the BMW X6 M (ex-showroom).

Both models are powered by a 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 engine, which produces 575 hp and 750 Nm of torque. It is paired to an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, sending torque to all four wheels via the xDrive system. This enables the X5 M and the X6 M to reach 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, before reaching their limited top-speeds of 250 km/h.

Like any M Division car, the exterior of the BMW X5 M and X6 M feature an aggressive body kit that contributes functionally as well as aesthetically. Both the X5M and the X6M will be imported through the CBU route and will rival the likes of Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Mercedes GL 63 AMG and the Range Rover Sport SVR.

BMW India also opened its first M Studio in the country, where both models will be exclusively available. It is located in Mumbai, and plans to open further outlets in Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Pune and Hyderabad.
