BMW X5

BMW X5The X5 represents BMW's first foray into the popular sport-utility-vehicle marketplace. Even though it had permanently engaged all-wheel drive, the SUV wasn't really intended for off-roading. BMW calls the X5 a sports activity vehicle. The X5 is designed to handle like a true BMW.

The 2006 BMW X5 includes a standard onboard computer. The Sport Package adds instrument dials with chrome rings.

The 4.8is has a 355-horsepower, 4.8-liter V-8. Some previously optional items became standard in 2005. Automatic climate control became standard in the 3.0i, and the 4.4i added front and rear obstacle detection. Xenon headlights, which are standard with V-8 power, are linked to the steering mechanism.

The X5 exhibits a more distinctive, eye-catching shape than most SUVs, but the front end is strictly BMW with its twin kidney-shaped grille. At nearly 184 inches long overall, the X5 is 5 inches shorter than the 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class. The two-way tailgate has a top portion that swings up and a swing-down lower section.

An optional load-floor extension slides out on tracks. The six-cylinder 3.0i model comes with 17-inch tires, the 4.4i gets 18-inch tires, and the 4.8is rolls on 20-inch rubber. A Sport Package is available for the 3.0i and 4.4i and features high-performance tires and a firmer suspension. Automatic rear leveling is standard on V-8 models. An adjustable ride-height suspension is available.

Like BMW's coupes, sedans and wagons, the X5 excels in handling skills. Its steering is tight and precise, producing an appetizing level of control and confidence. Performance is impressive, especially with the V-8, which delivers acceleration almost like a muscle car. The six-cylinder engine is energetic enough to satisfy most drivers. Automatic-transmission shifts are positive but curt.

Unbelievable selection and value! To everyone considering US origin cars - do it and save money - we have been paying too much from CDN manufact/dealers. I saved $15,000 compared to local dealers for a better vehicle! Steve and Rob are becoming Guelph's premier
