The car
About this car in Nice
West of Cannes the A8 climbs into the Esterel and the red rock starts, and for forty kilometres the motorway becomes one of the better roads in France. The X5 M is built for that stretch: 625 hp, 3.9 seconds to 100 km/h, and the stability to hold a high speed with five people and a week's luggage aboard.
In Nice itself it behaves like any large SUV — which is to say the underground car parks are tight and the Promenade is slow — but the ability to leave the coast quickly is what you are paying for.
Delivery is confirmed with you before you arrive. The X6 M Competition is the same mechanical package under a coupé roofline.
- 625 hp V8 with five seats and full luggage
- Built for the A8 through the Esterel
