BMW unveils Kith-collaboration X5 and fifth-generation X5 model

BMW has unveiled several significant updates to its X5 lineup, highlighted by a high-profile collaboration with the American apparel brand Kith. As part of this partnership, a one-off, fully restored first-generation BMW X5 (E53) has been created. This custom build features a 5.0-liter S85 V10 engine from the E60 M5, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and original all-wheel drive. The vehicle is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic and includes custom Kith branding on the interior leather and M Sport brakes.

Simultaneously, BMW introduced the fifth generation of the X5, incorporating design and technology elements from the Neue Klasse era. This new model will be the first in the brand to offer five different propulsion technologies, including gasoline, diesel, plug-in hybrid, electric, and hydrogen. Key technological advancements include the BMW Panoramic iDrive, a three-dimensional Head-Up Display, and a new passenger-side infotainment screen.
