The BMW stand at the Frankfurt motor show features the 5-Series GT, the X1, the X6 ActiveHybrid, the 7-series ActiveHybrid, the X5M and X6M and a few new models as well.

Coming up, we take a closer look at the imposing Vision EfficientDynamics concept, but among the newbies is basically the whole family. It includes the 7-Series High Security, 7-Series M-sport, 7-Series XDrive with all wheel drive, the X3 18d, 1-Series model year 2010, 320d Efficient Dynamics, M3 Edition, M6 Competition Limited Edition and the whole new BMW Performance kit for four cylinder engines. The 2.0-litre diesel gets an increase from 177 hp to 197 hp and torque is up from 350 to 390 Nm.

The X5M and X6M both have 550 hp, while the many engine pics below also take a look at the X6 ActiveHybrid V8 4.4-litre unit with 485 hp and 780 Nm. Both the X6 and 7-Series ActiveHybrid have the new eight-speed automatic gearbox and Start-Stop systems. Check it all out in the gallery below.

The first images of the BMW Series 7 M-Sport version have been released. It comes equipped with the new 3.0-litre twin turbo diesel at 306 hp, called the 740d. You might be a little disappointed with the “sports” moniker, given that the V8 twin turbo is not even offered.

What’s not under the bonnet though, has been put into the style, with extra chrome features, more agressive bumpers and M-design wheels. The interior dash shows alluminium trim, though further details on the M-Sport package haven’t been released.
