All vehicles are at least partially electrified, with most being full EVs and a handful of plug-in hybrids. Since the luxury brand is pushing electrification, players weren\u2019t allowed to choose any of the pure gasoline or diesel models available in Bavaria\u2019s vast lineup.<\/p>\n<p>The iX proved to be the most popular choice, with five players and the coach Sergio Scariolo opting for the xDrive60, while two others went for the lesser xDrive45. We\u2019re pleased to see two wagons in the mix: an i5 M60 Touring and the mighty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/10\/21\/bmw-m5-touring-safety-car-romania-track\/\">M5 Touring<\/a>. The traditional sedan body style wasn\u2019t ignored either: two players drove home in the M5, and another picked up the keys to an i7 xDrive60.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-506964 size-medium\" title=\"BMW FLEET FOR REAL MADRID BASKETBALL TEAM 8\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW FLEET FOR REAL MADRID BASKETBALL TEAM 37\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone wp-image-506964 size-medium\" title=\"BMW FLEET FOR REAL MADRID BASKETBALL TEAM 8\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW FLEET FOR REAL MADRID BASKETBALL TEAM 37\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BMW-fleet-for-Real-Madrid-basketball-team-37-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As expected, most players went for SUVs, including the polarizing XM chosen by two athletes.
