Ultimately, the N55 is a key piece of hardware in BMW’s Efficient Dynamics philosophy-- which centres around continual improvements to mileage without sacrificing performance. The same philosophy applies to the X5’s newly-available twin-turbo, 400 horsepower V8, as well as the award-winning twin-turbodiesel straight six.
Given that the new makeover focused mainly on the powertrain, X5’s well-loved cabin, ride and handling have mainly been left alone. Intelligent Servotronic steering is now standard, but the chassis and suspension have been left virtually untouched.
If you’re an existing X5 owner looking to upgrade to a newer model, you’ll feel right at home here. Regardless of the engine selected, BMW says you’ll experience unmatched performance bang for your gasoline buck, too.
Getting free desert with your meal sure sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
