X5M Owners - What's difference between X5M and 5.0?
Hey X5M Owners!
Does anyone know specific differences between the X5M and the X5 5.0? I have the 5.0.

Actually, both the xDrive 50i and the X5M use a 4.4L turbo-charged engine so the difference would be either 0.6 or 0.0 depending if you use the bagde name or the engine displacement.

If you have the money, then the X5M is well worth the premium to me.
I chose the M over the 5.0 after driving them both and finding the M to be in another league. It just satisfies on so many levels. Your mileage may vary, but I traded in my 1 year old M3 on it and I do not miss the M3.........Steve

How did BMW boost the horsepower so much in the X5M? What sppecifically did they change? Does the X5M have a electrical water pump too? (2011)
Also, is there a way to tell if an X5 has had the water pump replaced? Last edited by BlackX5; 01-21-2018 at 09:37 AM.. |

What everyone else has said,...plus, "Night and Day"! Really,...don't drive one if you don't plan to buy one! In fact,..don't ever drive an ///M vehicle if you don't ever plan to buy one!
...in parting, I will leave with this,...as some may concur,..."it's a thrill a minute",...and yet others may argue,..."a thrill a second"!

Looks like they have more than 1 electric pump.
"Together with other features, a second low-temperature radiator with an additional electrical coolant pump improves the intercooling function on the new M TwinPower Turbo. This optimises the performance of indirect intercooling in particularly dynamic driving cycles. And last but not least, an additional electrical coolant pump with an after-running function serves to cool the bearing mounts on the turbochargers after switching off the engine." Every time I read posts from members I keep discovering new issues Last edited by BlackX5; 01-21-2018 at 08:03 PM.. |

The N63 has had its share of reliability issues, especially in the E70. I'm not sure about the reliability of the S63, though. Just my $0.02 (well, $0.03).
