What Changed

The X5 has grown in every conceivable dimension adding some 8 in in length, 3 in in width and 2 in in height. Curb weights are up by over 300 lbs. A new 3.0L I-6 has 260-bhp, while the 4.8L V-8 churns out 350-bhp/350 lb.-ft. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed Steptronic® automatic. The longer chassis allows room for an optional 3rd row seat. All X5 models have xDrive® AWD. Standard 18-inch alloy wheels can be replaced with 19 and 20-inch optional wheels.
