The BMW X5 is a premium SUV produced by the renowned German manufacturer, BMW Group. This model seamlessly blends the comfort and performance of a luxury saloon with the rugged capabilities of an off-road vehicle. The first generation debuted in 1999, showcasing design elements characteristic of BMW vehicles from that era—most notably the iconic kidney grille, distinctive headlight design, and sculpted bonnet lines.
A standout feature of the X5 is its robust and elevated body, which enhances road presence and off-road capability. To ensure superior driving dynamics, BMW equipped the X5 with advanced traction and stability systems, including DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) and ADB (Automatic Differential Brake), among others.
The second generation (E70), launched in 2006, retained the bold silhouette of its predecessor while introducing subtle design updates, such as redesigned headlights and a refreshed grille. Inside, the cabin offers generous space for both front and rear passengers, with a layout that emphasizes ergonomics and premium materials. The dashboard features a large, easy-to-read navigation screen operated via the intuitive iDrive system.
Optional features include active cruise control, a panoramic glass roof with a retractable sunshade, and a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. While the BMW X5 is considered one of the top vehicles in its segment, its premium price point makes it a less common sight on Polish roads.
Factory tyre sizes for the BMW X5 vary depending on the trim level and include: 235/65 R17, 255/55 R18, 255/50 R19, 275/40 R20, 285/45 R19, and 315/35 R20.
Optional tyre sizes include 285/35 R21 and 325/30 R21.
