Driving the new X5 4.8i is an exercise in absolute power – with
plenty in reserve. Its 4.8-liter V-8 wields the irresistible force of
350 lb-ft of torque, and 350 horses that sprint from 0-60 in 6.4
seconds.

The new X5 3.0si’s inline six-cylinder makes good use of BMW’s
lightweight magnesium/aluminum composite crankcase. Calling
on 260 horses and 225 lb-ft of torque, this ultra-smooth engine
launches the X5 3.0si to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds.

Helping both models attain dramatic acceleration with greater
fuel efficiency is a 6-speed
STEPTRONIC automatic transmission with
new E-Shift technology. Gear changes are smoother and quicker,
and the new automatic transmission lever cleverly frees up more
storage space – adding to the pleasure of your X5 driving experience.

BMW AG test results. Obey local speed laws and always wear safety belts.
Introducing two new engines that rocket to 60 in short order.
There are many reasons why the all-new X5 4.8i and X5 3.0si SAVs
drive more like sports cars than SUVs. Chief among these are two
new engines for the X5s that will make paved highways beckon like
back roads: a 350-horsepower V-8 and a 260-horsepower inline six.
Compared to their precedessors, both the V-8 and the inline six
deliver 35 more horses. But the real miracle is that with all this
added power, they deliver greater fuel efficiency, too. BMW’s
revolutionary Valvetronic electronic valve control system uses
variable valve lift to let the engines “breathe” more easily,
enabling both engines to squeeze more miles from each drop
of gas. Whether you’re hauling a trailer up a steep hill or cruising
through town, BMW’s Double-VANOS technology “steplessly”
selects the best intake and exhaust valve timings to keep the
engines running smooth and clean, with quick and potent
acceleration on command.
