Introduction In third generation form, BMW’s X5 proved to be a luxury 4×4 that was bigger, safer, classier and came with a blend of performance and efficiency that some of its rivals could only wonder at. The result was a car that, though no longer head and shoulders above the competition, could still set the standard most of them needed to aspire to. History The BMW X5. It was the car that, back at the turn of the century, completely changed the way we thought about large, plush 4x4s. The car that, more than any other, defined the modern luxury SUV and the one that since the turn of the century, almost every other prestige brand has sought to copy. Without this Munich model, we probably wouldn’t have Porsche Cayennes, Range Rover Sports, Volkswagen Touaregs, Audi Q7s or any of the other copycat offerings that now populate the premium SUV sector. As you’d expect, this third generation ‘F15’ version moved the game on a little further again, offering what BMW claimed was the best combination of performance and efficiency in its class. It sold only until 2018, when it was replaced by an all-new ‘G05’-series MK4 X5 design. What You Get BMW calls the look of this car ‘deliberately evolutionary’, which we think means that it was styled so as not to alienate existing buyers. It didn’t because a whole range of familiar X5 design cues were present and correct. So buyers got short front overhangs, a long wheelbase, upright A-pillars and the familiar BMW kidney grille set between twin circular headlamps that stretch well into the side panels. Whether the finished confection is as pretty as its predecessor is another question. Designer Olivier Heilmer had to make this car bigger and stretch the nose to incorporate a pedestrian-friendly pyrotechnic bonnet – and struggled to do so whilst keeping the handsome silhouette that so characterised the stylish second generation version. Still, you’re certainly not going to mistake this X5 for a Mercedes or an Audi when it appears in your rear view mirror. In other words, if not especially pretty, it’s certainly distinctive. And yes, still classy. What isn’t up for debate is the style, quality and sheer class of the cabin. The previous generation model was already very nice to sit in but here, things feel more up-market still, with some lovely use of leather and very high quality plastics. It’s not as muted and deliberately under-styled as an Audi, nor as brash and in-your-face as rival Mercedes models. Instead, it plots a middle way that, for us, hits the mark perfectly. Fit and finish are virtually faultless. You sit lower than you would in some other SUVs, which accentuates the sportier feel, gripping a lovely tactile wheel through which you glance instrumentation that’s a model of class and clarity. The centrepiece of the dash is a vast 10.2-inch infotainment display screen, which is marshalled by the much-improved iDrive control system, here as intuitive and smart as you could ever want it to be. Talking of the load compartment, a remotely operable powered tailgate was standard, though it’s only the top part of this split two-section hatch you can automatically raise or lower. Inside the boot, luggage space rose by 30-litres with this generation model to 650-litres. That’s a little less than a Mercedes M-Class or a Range Rover Sport from this era but it’s probably enough for most owners. If not, a versatile 40:20:40 split-folding rear bench allows further load capacity to be released in stages all the way up to as much as 1,870-litres. On the Road The X5 might have developed over its three generations but there’s been one constant. It’s always driven well. Actually, perhaps we’re understating things there. To be frank, the original MK1 model left us all a bit dumbfounded. How could something so big and high corner like a sporty saloon? Back at the turn of the century, we couldn’t quite understand it and not much has changed since. As a result, you now approach this BMW expecting it to be good to drive. To dilute that talent would be to lose the point of the car. It would be like an uncomfortable Rolls-Royce, a dull Ferrari or a reliable TVR. Did that happen with this third generation version? Well let’s consider for a moment what makes this such a good car to drive. Primarily, it’s got its priorities right, developed for tarmac use first and foremost, with BMW cheerfully emphasising the xDrive 4×4 system’s priority in maximising on-road traction at the expense of off-road capability. They’ll happily explain how, instead of mounting the engine and gearbox up high to be clear of water (as you’d get in any serious-minded SUV), they’ve mounted them low and as far back as possible for an aggressive centre of gravity to help spirited cornering. The result is a machine that on a twisting country road, really doesn’t feel very SUV-like at all – which is why the Bavarians call it an ‘SAV’ or ‘Sports Activity Vehicle’ instead. Whether anything weighing up to 2.2-tonnes in weight and nearly 1.8-metres in height can ever defy the laws of physics enough to match BMW’s description of this model as ‘a driver’s car’ is another question, but there’s no doubt that body control really is excellent for a vehicle of this kind. Drive down a bumpy back lane and you can feel the suspension working hard to keep the passenger cell serene and avoid the sort of ‘nodding head’ syndrome that some cruder large SUVs still exhibit. But these of course don’t include this X5’s most direct rivals from this era, cars of the quality of Mercedes’ M-Class, Porsche’s Cayenne and the Range Rover Sport. Ultimately, all of the various systems deliver what they set out to achieve. With the Active Roll system fitted, it’s especially astonishing to throw this car through a set of bends and marvel at its composure. And with the variable dampers and the air suspension installed, the ‘Comfort’ setting really is a rather lovely way to waft through the urban landscape. Of course, it’s worth pointing out that most customers will choose this a rather less aggressive 3.0-litre diesel in their X5, namely the 258bhp unit in the xDrive 30d variant that over 60% of UK customers choose. Even that car will dip under seven seconds to 62mph and charge on to 147mph, so it’s hardly slow and has enough torque to satisfy a 3,500kg braking towing limit. We reckon most customers are going to want the option of four driven wheels. After all, though the xDrive system might not be set up for mud-plugging, it’s still more capable than most owners will ever need it to be, using an electronic clutch and the cleverness of BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control system to alter drive from the normal 40/60 front-to-rear bias to 100% front or rear, as necessary. The xDrive models also get Hill Descent Control to ease down slippery slopes, but that’s about it as far as BMW has gone in terms of off-tarmac prowess. You’re always going to be limited here by ground clearance and the asphalt-bias of the tyres. Which is probably just as well. Overall This ‘F15’-series model was a more mature X5, this third generation design evolving into a larger, more comfortable and more efficient proposition. The more time you spend with it, the more you wonder whether any other competitor from this era really is better suited to the relentless kind of life that cars of this kind actually lead. It’s very special inside, it’s as good as it needs to be on the mud and it’s still a rewarding tarmac tool if specified properly. So yes, it can keep its rivals in sight in all these areas. They, in contrast, struggle much more to match this BMW’s class-leading economy, cleanliness and sprightly performance. Some competitors are much pricier too. Not without reason do one in every three X5 owners stay loyal to the range when the time comes to change their cars. True, this might not be as handsome a design as it used to be, but it’s still imposing and classy. Safer too and more relevant, not only in terms of its lower running costs but also its hi-tech infotainment ConnectedDrive cleverness. And all of this on top of a range of virtues that offer as much motoring flexibility as you could ever need. We are, after all, looking here at a car with economy pretty close to that of an ordinary family estate, yet one that potentially can keep up with a hot hatch, scale the lower slopes of Ben Nevis and take five folk to the theatre when all is done. It is, by any measure, a very complete vehicle. A benchmark then. Just as X5s have always been. IN SUMMARY THIS IS A STUNNING MODERN 4X4 WITH THE DESIRABLE 3.0 DIESEL ENGINE MATED TO LOVELY SUPER SMOOTH AUTOMATIC GEARBOX, THIS 4X4 IS IN STUNNING CONDITION BOTH BODILY & INTERIOR WISE & HAS RECENTLY HAD A FULL SERVICE & COMES WITH MEGA SPEC & GREAT SERVICE HISTORY THROUGHOUT THE CARS LIFE.
