The car
About this car in Florence
Some of the most beautiful estates in the Val d'Orcia sit at the end of white gravel roads, between Pienza, Montalcino and San Quirico. A low sports car hates them; the X5 M simply rolls up to the cellar door. It is the full M version of BMW's large SUV, with a 625 hp twin-turbo V8 and 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, so the 110 km from Florence pass quickly on the A1 and the Cassia.
The appeal here is versatility. Five seats and an SUV boot carry a group to a tasting lunch, and the all-wheel drive is steady on dust in August and on mud after autumn rain. When the season turns, winter tyres are fitted and the car becomes a confident way over the Apennines on the SS65 towards Bologna, a road that from 15 November to 15 April requires winter equipment. Speed limits of 130 km/h on the motorway and 90 on country roads mean the 290 km/h top speed stays theoretical; the V8's punch out of slow corners is what you enjoy.
Florence's centre is a ZTL with cameras on every entry. The X5 M is delivered to your hotel garage if the hotel registers the plate, to a villa in the hills, or to Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella. We arrange it when you book, with insurance and 24/7 assistance included.
