BMW Australia has expanded its local line-up with the launch of the BMW X5 Shadow Edition, a striking new limited-run model that blends luxury, performance, and exclusive design touches for a recommended retail price of $146,900.

Available exclusively in the xDrive30d variant, the Shadow Edition is powered by BMW’s robust TwinPower Turbo diesel engine, delivering 210kW of power and 650Nm of torque. The new model builds on the legacy of previous Shadow Edition releases – including the 3 Series (2017), 1 Series (2019), and X7 (2020) – and is set to appeal to enthusiasts looking for enhanced style and presence.

The X5 Shadow Edition stands out with four metallic paint options offered at no additional cost: M Carbon Black, Black Sapphire, BMW Individual Dravit Grey, and Mineral White. The exterior features exclusive 21-inch V-spoke 915 M bi-colour alloy wheels, making their debut in the Australian market.

A 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system elevates the audio experience, providing immersive sound quality for all passengers.
