(April 14, 2024) Back in the waning days of the last century when the BMW X5 began production in South Carolina, the vehicle was intended to be an “ultimate driving machine” marinated with American spirit — an SUV that could go flat-out on the Autobahn…or Eisenhower’s Interstate. Through four generations, the X5 has been a staple of the German automaker. But what if we crossed an M5 super sedan with the X5 and threw in a hybrid system for extra kicks? Then, you’d have the 2024 BMW X5 M60i.
