BMW X5 M Competition

The BMW X5 M Competition is the high-performance SUV that asks you to give up nothing. Its 4.4 litre M TwinPower Turbo V8 produces 617 horsepower through M xDrive all-wheel drive, which sends the car to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. That is supercar pace in a vehicle that seats five adults and swallows 650 litres of luggage. Around town it is calm and quiet, and on an open stretch of Sheikh Zayed Road it changes character completely.

This is the BMW for people who need one car to do everything in Dubai. It is high enough to feel commanding in Business Bay traffic and composed enough for a weekend run out to Hatta or the cycle tracks at Al Qudra. The cabin is full Munich luxury with M Sport seats, a curved display and Harman Kardon sound, so a drive from DIFC to the Palm Jumeirah is as comfortable as it is quick. Renting it makes sense when you want the space and the speed for a few weeks without the ownership and depreciation that come with a 600 hp SUV.

It suits families who refuse to slow down, executives who carry passengers and golf clubs, and anyone who wants presence at the Dubai Marina valet without driving something exotic. The adaptive M suspension keeps it flat through corners and supple over the speed bumps of JBR. Book it for an airport pickup, a desert weekend or a full month of city driving and it will not feel like a stretch. We deliver it to your door, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
