BMW X5 4.0i M — Nice

The X5 4.0i M occupies a particular space in BMW's lineup — more assertive than a standard X5, sharper in its suspension tuning and throttle mapping, yet composed enough to absorb long days behind the wheel without fatigue. It is the kind of SUV that rewards a driver who actually wants to drive, rather than simply be transported. Nice rewards that instinct. From the airport, the A8 autoroute opens up westward toward Antibes or funnels east toward Monaco, but the real argument for the X5 4.0i M begins where the road narrows. The Moyenne Corniche climbing through Èze demands a vehicle that can carry its weight through tight radius turns without hesitation — and this BMW does exactly that. Its M Sport chassis keeps body roll contained on the switchbacks above Villefranche-sur-Mer, while the ride stays civil enough for the descent back to sea level and a quiet arrival at a Cap-Ferrat villa. The 2025 model is the variant currently available in our Nice fleet, from €350 per day. Five seats and a proper boot make it a rational choice for couples travelling with luggage or a small group splitting a week between coast and interior. A morning run to Saint-Paul-de-Vence via the D2 — narrow, climbing, shaded by plane trees — suits the X5's proportions better than a wider Urus or a low-slung GT that scrapes on village speed bumps. Delivery can be arranged to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, or to specific addresses along the Promenade des Anglais hotel corridor and beyond. For clients heading to Monaco, the X5 4.0i M fits comfortably in underground parking structures where wider SUVs sometimes struggle — a small practical detail that matters more than most spec sheets suggest. If your trip involves both the autoroute pace of a Cannes-to-Nice commute and the precision of a corniche drive above the coastline, this is likely the most versatile SUV in the fleet for the task.
