BMW Australia today announced the introduction of a Limited Edition M Sport version of Australia’s top-selling large luxury SAV, the X5 M Sport Limited Edition.

Priced from $99,900 drive away, the BMW X5 M Sport Limited Edition adds the M Sport exterior body kit, 20” M double spoke Alloy wheels, M leather steering wheel with gearshift paddles and chrome tail pipe finisher from the M Sport range. Additionally, features such as Navigation Professional, voice control, rear view camera with top view, electric seat adjustment, automatic tailgate operation, Bi-Xenon headlights including headlight washers and High Beam Assist with Anti-dazzle exterior mirrors add to the already high standard specification of the BMW X5 xDrive 30d. This represents more than $15,000 of additional value to customers.
