The consumption in the EU test cycle 12.5 litres per 100 kilometres superstores. The well-known three-litre diesel with 170 kW/231 hp and 520 Nm brings it to 216 km / h maximum speed. With the program is also to launch the three-liter 6-cylinder gasoline engine with 200 kW/272 hp and 315 Nm.

This corresponds to the circuitry in a normal automatic arrangement, but the election runs counter after each activity to its initial position. The control of the gearbox is not mechanically but through electrical signals. The park will position by pressure on the P-button at the top of the switch is inserted.
With the equipment, there is everything beautiful and expensive. Head-Up Display, Xenon headlamps with curves, several interior combinations in wood, aluminum and leather, DVD-video system, reversing camera or the advanced IDrive favorites with eight buttons.
Important features of the larger interior, stronger engines, and a further-developed four-wheel drive. Up to seven occupants to be on three rows of seats place, even the back should be persons to 1.70 meters in size, sit bearable.
BMW X5 New Engine

As the first vehicle in its class, the BMW X5 with an optional active steering equipment. Up to a speed of about 90 km / h dominated a direct driving behaviour, at higher speeds is the translation of the assets on the other hand, indirect steering designed for a sovereign straight run, and thus the driving comfort.
Also unique in this segment is the coordinated control of stabilizers and shock absorbers on the optional Adaptive Drive. With the help of sensors and calculates Adaptive Drive permanently data on speed, steering angle, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, deployment and height stands. Based on this information, both the swing motors stabilizers, as well as the electromagnetic valves controlled by the shock. This allows side slope and damping anytime Situational regulated. By key press can vary between a sports ground and a comfortable setting.
About Works was also the all-wheel drive X-Drive: In normal driving situations, the drive torque in the ratio of 40: 60 between the front and rear wheels. Once the driving situation or the underground nature requires it, the force is variable. About a distributor gear with electronically controlled clutch slats directs it is the driving force of the engine is always there, where they are used most effectively.
Even with complete loss of pressure, they allow the onward journey. With a maximum speed of 80 km / h can still laden vehicle up to 150 kilometers. Standard owns the vehicle now 18 inch light alloy wheels with 255/55 tyres dimension. Optional are also alloy rims in the formats 19 and 20-inch tires available with sizes up to 275/40 front and 315/35 rear.
