Powertrain

This hybrid setup generates a total system power output of 535 kW and 1000 Nm of torque. Of that, the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 S68 engine, which can also be found in the XM and the X5M, contributes 430 kW and 553 lbft, with the electric motor making up the rest, contributing 145 kW and 280 Nm.
Driving modes
The hybrid system offers multiple driving modes: • HYBRID Mode balances performance and efficiency. • ELECTRIC Mode allows speeds up to 140 km/h on electric power alone. Its 18.6 kWh battery provides a claimed electric-only range of 67 km in Europe (WLTP). • eCONTROL Mode optimises energy recuperation to preserve battery charge. • Dynamic and Dynamic Plus can adjust cooling and the drive system to keep peak performance over an extended period of time or maximise performance in short bursts.
Features
BMW has retained the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system from the F90 with a rear-wheel bias, allowing for differing power amounts that can be sent to the rear wheels and includes a rear-wheel-drive-only mode. The exterior design incorporates signature M elements, such as flared wheel arches, a sculpted front end, and illuminated glow kidney grills. It rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, with the option for M Carbon ceramic brakes for enhanced stopping power. Inside, the G90 offers 20 mm more rear legroom than its predecessor, thanks to a longer wheelbase.
