BMW X5

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

"The BMW X5 is a mid-size luxury SUV produced by BMW. The first generation of the X5, with the chassis code E53, made its debut in 1999.

It was BMW's first SUV and it also featured all-wheel drive and was available with either manual or automatic transmission.

In 2006, the second generation X5 was launched, known internally as the E70, featuring the torque-split capable xDrive all-wheel drive system mated to an automatic transmission, and in 2009 the X5 M performance variant was released as a 2010 model.

- First generation (E53; 2000–2006).

 

"The BMW E53 X5 crossover was manufactured between 1999 and 2006.

It was developed while BMW owned Land Rover and benefitted from company technology. It shared the Range Rover HSE's Hill Descent System and Off Road Engine Management system, and the engine and electronic system of the BMW E39 5 series. As a result, the earlier X5 models can be upgraded with newer BMW technologies (e.g. Bluetooth phone connectivity).

 

A range of petrol (gasoline) inline-6s, V8s and diesel engines was offered.

 

A facelifted version was released for the 2004 model year, with production starting in late 2003."

 

- Second generation (E70; 2006–2013).

 

- Third generation (F15; 2013–2018).

 

- Fourth generation (G05; 2019–present).
