From a plan view of the 2008 BMW X5, the luxury SUV measures 6.4 inches longer and 2.4 inches wider, compared to last year's model. The 3.0si and the 4.8i trims maintain the same road manners and luxury while offering the convenience of available 3rd row seating, not available in the BMW X3, its often-compared sibling. With an M.S.R.P. of $45,900 to $54,500, the new X5 offers a healthy array of standard features.
The X5 is powered by either a 3.0 Liter inline 6-cylinder engine which develops 260hp and 15mpg city - 21mpg highway or a 4.8 Liter V-8 generating 350hp and 14mpg city - 20mpg highway. Standard on both the 3.0si and the 4.8i is a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with Adaptive Transmission Control which means you have the ability to select from 9 different driving modes, depending on your driving habits and the demands of the road. Further adjusting to the road is the X5's xDrive All-Wheel Drive System which distributes power to the wheels in response to each one's grip of the road. The result is even greater sure-footedness than with any other 4-wheel drive system.
