LA LIVE: 2015 BMW X5 M

BMW has unveiled its second-generation X5 M at the Los Angeles auto show.
Tweaked by BMW's high-performance M division, the 2015 X5 M arrives with the distinction of being the brand's most powerful all-wheel drive vehicle to date. That title comes courtesy of a revised 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 that makes 567 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque.
That power is put to the ground via a new eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic. BMW says the X5 M can accelerate from 0-60 in 4.0 seconds and hit a top speed of 155mph - not too shabby for a vehicle that weighs just over 5,000 pounds.
But despite those performance chops, BMW says the all-new X5 M is 20 percent more efficient than its predecessor. Final EPA ratings, however, are unavailable at this time.
