BMW X5m what version is this?

Hello,I am the owner of a BMW X5M. Year 2012.

However, it is different from its other models of this year.

Front and rear lights. In addition, a head-breaking exhaust.

Very noisy.

Can you add a video here?

Ask for help with version determination.

There seems to be a significant increase in power.

Are the wheel arches widened?

Thank you all for your help

Looks stock/OEM to me. Here's my 2013 X5M and you can see the fenders are flared like this from the factory as it's part of the M styling that was a bit different from the standard X5 (E70) platform. You also look to have the LED lights as you can see from the taillights and the headlights as they should say BMW Advanced LED on the side and this was a rather rare option as it was pricy.

Hello,
many thanks for your reply Dave00

What power did you have in your X5M?

I think it's enlarged. I don't know how to check it

Maybe you can tell me something.

I can take additional photos.

If the exhaust is very loud, check if the flaps on the axhaust are working, maybee they stay open.

When the Engine is off, or is running at ideal they should be Closed.

Mine is a stock (unmodified) X5M and has the standard 555HP and 500Ft/Lbs of torque. If it is indeed an M, it should have the S63 motor with these figures as from your photos they all look like the standard exhaust and fenders/body moldings. The exhaust has actuators that open it up a bit (make it louder) when you press the M button on the steering wheel. The actuators are those silver circular devices attached to the exhaust on both sides that have tubes running to them as they are vacuum actuated.
