BMW's New X5


BMW today introduced the new X5 Sports Activity Vehicle. We’re not sure what exactly makes it a SAV instead of an SUV, but the new X5 does come with a whole slew of new features. In the U.S., the new X5 will be available with a new 4.8-liter V8 that produces 350 horsepower, or a 3.0-liter inline-six with 260 horsepower. This power is delivered to the wheels via a new six-speed automatic transmission with an enhanced xDrive AWD system with more ground clearance than its predecessor. The interior has grown, and now seats up to seven passengers. BMW says that they have used lightweight materials throughout to keep weight down, despite the increase in size. While the previous X5 certainly wasn’t a bad looking vehicle, this new X5 looks extremely agressive and is one of the nicest new designs we’ve seen come out of BMW lately.

Full press release after the jump.

oh yea you can definately tell by the 'flame' styling down the side. his stuff is not the greatest right now, but i think it will evolve into something great in the future. its just the infancy stage of his design skills that we need to get through. atleast we can all sleep well knowing he was unable to add his bangle butt to a hatch

I agree. I had the new LR3 and that thing was in the shop every 4 months.

Range Rover sport? it's based on the LR3 and uses pretty much everything the same other then the body. People have had problems with it too, so, good luck with the Land Rover's
