Real Madrid Goes Electric: BMW Powers the Squad with High-Performance, Eco-Friendly Fleet for Third Successful Year

For the third consecutive season, BMW Spain continues its partnership with Real Madrid, providing the squad with a fresh fleet of vehicles, and this time, it’s all about electric power. Since 2022, the Spanish football giants have been cruising in the finest BMW models, thanks to a deal with the renowned German automobile maker. This year, the focus is on sustainability, as every vehicle handed over to the players is part of the brand’s fully electric range, with standout models like the BMW i5, BMW i7, and BMW XM leading the charge.

The official car handover event took place at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano, where the football first team received their new rides. This marks the third year of a partnership that blends cutting-edge technology with luxury, as Real Madrid’s top athletes continue to embrace the electrifying advancements in automotive engineering.

The Players’ Picks: Dynamic and Eco-Friendly

When it comes to their vehicles, the players are gravitating towards the latest electric BMW models, which showcase an unbeatable combination of precision, performance, and sustainability. Whether it’s the sleek design of the BMW i5, the luxurious comfort of the BMW i7, or the bold, hybrid power of the BMW XM, each car reflects the BMW commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.

Notably, Madrid's number nine, Kylian Mbappé chose the same car as Jude Bellingham. The BMW XM, but in white, highlighting his sleek style. With only 60 days of rain forecasted annually in Madrid, he won’t need to worry about dodging muddy puddles very often.

Attacker Vinicius Jr. chose the luxurious BMW i7, opting for the most exclusive model of all—the BMW i7 M70 xDrive. Step inside, and the luxurious ambiance of the BMW i7 M70 unfolds. The spacious and meticulously designed interior showcases a perfect fusion of opulence and functionality. The intuitive infotainment system, seamlessly integrated into the dashboard, provides a futuristic interface that keeps you connected on the go. The state-of-the-art technology includes gesture controls, voice recognition, and a panoramic touchscreen display, offering a glimpse into the future of automotive interiors. This high-end electric car is not only the most expensive choice from the fleet but also the fastest, boasting a 659 horsepower motor and a top speed of 250 km/h.

Jude Bellingham’s choice of the BMW XM, like his teammate Mbappé, showcases his preference for a vehicle that balances power and performance. The BMW XM is a high-performance hybrid SAV, blending luxurious features with raw capability. The XM’s ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds is a testament to the engineering prowess of BMW, offering both speed and efficiency.

Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, Dani Carvajal, and Luka Modrić also went for the BMW XM, showcasing the popularity of this model among Real Madrid’s stars. The XM’s high-performance M twinpower turbo V8-cylinder petrol engine adds to its appeal, blending raw power with electric efficiency. Beyond its performance, the XM is also a statement of style and comfort, packed with premium interior materials, advanced technology, and a spacious cabin. Its no surprise this SAV is so popular amongst the players who needs a vehicle that can handle the fast-paced nature of their lifestyles while also reflecting their taste for high-end, cutting-edge design.

In addition to the players, coach Carlo Ancelotti also received a vehicle. He opted for the BMW i5 M60 that features the BMW kidney Iconic Glow, unmistakably visible especially in the dark. With 340 horsepower and 400Nm of torque, its no surprise that the BMW i5 M60 delivers an exhilarating driving experience. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just a few seconds, combining speed with the luxury and comfort Ancelotti is known to appreciate. Its advanced technology and sleek design make it a perfect fit for both his dynamic lifestyle and refined taste.

To finish, Toni Rüdiger and Aurélien Tchouaméni opted for humbler models compared to their teammates, selecting the BMW iX2. This compact, fully electric SAV is known for its sleek yet understated design. It offers a balance of luxury and sustainability, featuring a refined interior with modern tech amenities, including a large infotainment screen, customizable ambient lighting, and advanced driver-assistance systems. Despite its modest appearance next to the flashier sports cars chosen by others, the iX2 delivers impressive performance with its electric drivetrain, offering a smooth ride, quick acceleration, and a commendable range, making it a practical yet stylish choice.
