THERE are four new performance focused M Pure variants on their way, after BMW Australia added the M340i xDrive Pure, X2 M35i Pure, X5 M50i Pure and X6 M50i Pure to its local model range.

The new offerings join the M550i xDrive Pure model, which was announced late last year and will also be available from early this year.

Priced from $64,400 plus on-roads, the X2 edition of the new range also gets M sport seats an an anthracite headliner.
The X5 M50i Pure (starting at $136,900 plus on-roads) and the X6 M50i Pure (starting at $140,900 plus on-roads) will both sport 22-inch V-spoke M light alloy wheels in Cerium Grey with run-flat tyres.
