The model you are looking at is an e53 or first generation X5. There was no BMW M version for this body style. That is a fake badge. However, the model in your link is the 4.8is, which was the top dog of the e53 X5's. It has about 360 horsepower, different interior and guage clusters, flaired fender arches, 20 inch wheels, bigger brakes, aero kit and so on. The 4.8is, replaced the pre-face lift 4.6is, which was somewhat similar with regards to performance upgrades, except for it's Alpina tuned engine. That version had about 15-20 hp less than the 4.8is.
For your info pre-face lift was up to and including model year 2003, which included the 3.0i, 4.4i and 4.6is. The facelifted e53 from 2004 and on included the 3.0i, 4.4i and 4.8is.
3.0i's are straight six engines, 4.4i's are regular V8's and the 4.6is/4.8is were performance oriented V8's.
