Vehicle Overview Redesigned for 2007, BMW's X5 sport utility vehicle offers more seats, power and size than its forebear. Exterior sheet metal mimics other designs by BMW stylist Chris Bangle, though here the flanks seem less chiseled, the creases more softly hewn. Interior styling follows that of the current 3, 5 and 7 Series cars. Notable features include BMW's variable-ratio Active Steering system, as well as an updated transmission and an electronically controlled suspension branded AdaptiveDrive. The X5's electronic stability system has been bolstered with functions like brake drying and brake fade compensation. Run-flat tires are also standard. Last year's trim levels the X5 3.0i, 4.4i and 4.8is have been simplified to 3.0si and 4.8i. Under the hood are the automaker's latest inline-six and V-8 engines, with V-8 output rated at 350 horsepower. X5 competitors vary. At the low end, shoppers might also consider an Acura MDX or Lexus RX 350. Well-optioned models compete with the Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class. Exterior The new skin shows no drastic styling rebirth rather, it's an amalgamation of the updates other Bimmers have acquired in the years since the last X5 came on the scene. The headlights and air dam have a lot of 3 Series in them, while the hood lines recall the 5 Series. In back, the X5's taillamps bear many similarities to last year's design, though the rear hatch has fewer creases than it used to. Standard xenon headlamps rotate several degrees during turns to better illuminate corners. The fog lights also rotate, which is an uncommon feature. At 191.4 inches long, the 2007 X5 is 7.4 inches longer than its predecessor. Width increases 2.4 inches. Standard wheels are 18 inches in diameter, although 19- and 20-inch rims can be ordered. BMW's AdaptiveDrive system coordinates electronic suspension damping and roll resistance for better cornering. Interior The cabin is furnished similarly to those in BMW's current cars, with a prominent dashboard deck that abruptly descends toward wood trim. A large information screen sits front and center, though it's operated with BMW's confounding iDrive system. Six programmable buttons on the center stack allow drivers to bypass iDrive for various functions. Standard audio includes an in-dash CD player with 10 speakers and an auxiliary jack for iPods or other MP3 players. Audiophiles can choose a Dolby 5.1 surround sound system with 16 speakers other luxury options include heated seats for front and second-row occupants. The cargo floor boasts nearly four extra inches of length compared to the outgoing model. An optional third-row seat expands seating capacity to seven, but the last two passengers had better not be too big BMW says third-row accommodations are for people 5 feet, 6 inches or shorter. The second and third rows fold down, leaving 75.2 cubic feet of cargo volume, a figure that leads competitors like the Cadillac SRX, Mercedes-Benz M-Class and Infiniti FX. Under the Hood BMW aficionados know the new X5's engines well. The automaker's venerated 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine works in the X5 3.0si, where it generates 260 hp and 225 pounds-feet of torque. In the X5 4.8i, a 4.8-liter V-8 comes from the 5, 6 and 7 Series. Here, it makes 350 hp and 350 pounds-feet of torque. Both engines work through a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard xDrive all-wheel drive uses an electronic center coupling to shift torque between the front and rear wheels. Under normal circumstances, 60 percent of power is sent rearward. Safety Standard four-wheel disc brakes are larger in diameter on the X5 4.8i. ABS and an electronic stability system are standard, as are side curtain airbags that can detect rollovers and maintain inflation longer. The X5 is one of a handful of vehicles to employ adaptive brake lights, which illuminate across a wider area under heavy braking.
