BMW joined the luxury sport utility vehicle ranks in the 2000 model year with its X5, a car-based model created to challenge the Infiniti QX4, Lexus RX 300 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class. BMW says the X5 is suitable for "any road, any time, any reason," but it isn’t really intended for use as a true off-road vehicle. Instead, BMW calls the X5 a "sports activity vehicle." The X5 exhibits a more distinctive, eye-catching shape than other SUVs on the road. Just a glance at the X5’s front end reveals that it’s a BMW. It has classic styling that is highlighted by the familiar twin kidney-shape grilles.
Since the X5 has seating for five occupants this is the perfect car for families as well without the bulkiness of a larger SUV. . It features a high position for the driver and a 60/40-split, folding seat in the rear. Standard X5 amenities include a leather-trimmed interior, heated front seats and familiar red instrument-panel lighting in a carlike dashboard. The X5 4.4i carries a 4.4-liter V-8 that develops 290 hp which gives it that nice get up and go. And BMW added extra safety measures this year to their X5 the automaker’s Rear Head Protection System has been added for 2003. Antilock brakes, side-impact airbags and curtain-type airbags are standard.
This black X5 with tan interior is in truly amazing condition and has been very well maintained. It features upgrades such as chrome wheels, 2 DVD screens, heated front and rear seats. It just went through a thorough inspection at the local BMW store and is ready for a new home. Feel free to contact us to set up a test drive for this or any of our great vehicles.
