xDrive50e
The xDrive50e is a plug-in hybrid powered by a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, electric motors and a rechargeable battery pack. With a full charge, the xDrive50e can cover an EPA-estimated 40 miles of all-electric driving. When the battery is discharged, the xDrive50e operates as a regular gas-electric hybrid vehicle. Total system output is 483 hp and 516 lb-ft. The xDrive50e's features and options generally mirror those on the sDrive40i and xDrive40i trims.

M60i
The X5 M60i is an M Sport-tuned version, offering higher performance than the other trims but without requiring full commitment to the X5 M model. It's powered by a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft) and comes standard with all-wheel drive. It's equipped similar to the other X5 trims but replaces or enhances several features. Highlights include:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • M Sport-tuned adaptive suspension
  • M Sport differential
  • Rear-wheel steering
  • M Sport exhaust
  • M Sport brakes
  • M Sport steering wheel

Options are also similar to other X5 models, but a few are exclusive to the M60i, including:

  • Adaptive M Suspension Professional (enhanced with anti-body roll and improved handling)
  • Leather-wrapped dashboard
  • 20-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround-sound system

There's also the M60i Competition, which is more a bundle of performance upgrades rather than a distinct trim level. Power jumps to 617 hp, and additional performance comes from upgraded steering and suspension tuning and a Track driving mode. Other enhancements include Merino leather upholstery and carbon-fiber interior trim.

Which X5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The X5 offers just four trim levels, but they cover a wide range: rear-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, hybrid and high-performance. We like the xDrive40i best for its mix of standard features and options, its smooth and robust six-cylinder, and the sure-footed nature of its all-wheel drive.
