A more sensible alternative to the full-blown X5 M, the BMW X5 M50i is still very powerful thanks to its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 that’s rated at 530 PS and 750 Nm of torque. Even so, Dahler has launched an upgrade package for it. While the tuner did not say how they achieved the 630 PS and 840 Nm output, their kit apparently meets the latest European emission standard and comes with an increased top speed, to 270 km/h.
Built internally by the tuner, a stainless
steel exhaust system is also available for the X5 M50i. It sports four ceramic
coated tailpipes measuring 101 mm in diameter, and partially contributes
to the risen output and torque. Additionally, customers can order the exhaust
valve controller that gives the driver total control over the noise levels, regardless
of the selected driving mode, so that they can choose how loud their want their
ride to be.
A set of sport springs that lower the ride
height of the X5 and the new 11×23-inch forged wheels, available in different
colors and wrapped in 305/30 tires, round out the modifications. Dahler has
other upgrades for the X5 M50i in development, such as a stage 2 kit, which
will further increase the power of the V8, and a performance coilover
suspension with adjustable height and stiffness tailored specifically for the
German SUV.
