The new BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M will make their world debuts and the BMW 2 Series Convertible and BMW X6 Sports Activity Coupe will make their North American debuts at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday, November 19th. 

The redesigned X5 M and X6 M combine the robustness, agility, and everyday use characteristics of the successful BMW X family with the commitment to high performance that defines BMW M vehicles. Both models are equipped with a V8 unit featuring M TwinPower Turbo technology that delivers a maximum of 567 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.0 seconds.

Canadian prices for the new BMW X5 M and X6 M will be announced later.

The BMW 2 Series Convertible, meanwhile, is the successor to the BMW 1 Series Convertible. The M235i is powered by an inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology rated at 320 horsepower, and the base 228i uses an inline 4-cylinder engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology to produce 240 horsepower.

Finally, the second-generation BMW X6 Sports Activity Coupe comes with a suitably exclusive roster of standard equipment that goes well beyond the previous model: xenon headlights, 19” light-alloy wheels, automatic tailgate operation, and a choice of two potent engines including a 300-horsepower, inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, and a revised, 445-horsepower V8.
