BMW X5 xDrive35d 10-Year Anniversary Limited Edition
The first BMW X5 was introduced in 1999, it's code is E53. Since it was put on sale, the big SAV (Sport Activity Vehicle) became an instant hit. X5 was better in every single point compared to the direct rival – Mercedes-Benz ML. The BMW had better engines, better handling, more aggressive look and it was also better off the road. Because of all these good aspects, BMW didn't wait too much and refreshed the X5 at 2003 with the introduction of the xDrive – one of the best four wheel-drive systems in the world. With the facelift, X5 also got more powerful engines and minor style changes.
The all new model, which appeared 2007 has the code E70. It grew on size, so now it is available with third row seating, but that is not everything. This SAV is entirely new, like the BMW code prompts. The exterior is much different from the previous model, so not only the style is more beautiful and in the same time aggressive, but the drag coefficient got better. The BMW X5 E70 feels completely different, like it is. The engine range is just amazing – from 3.0 litre diesel with 231hp to 4.4 litre petrol V8 with two turbochargers, which delivers the stunning 555hp.
The X line-up consist BMW X3 – E83, BMW X5 - E70 and BMW X6 - E71/2 and it will be reinforced by the all new BMW X1.
