As reported by BMW
Whitby, ON. This spring, BMW will write the latest chapter in the story of the world's first Sport Activity Vehicle, the BMW X5. With new powertrains and refined coachwork, the new BMW X5 will make its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show in April and reach BMW showrooms later this spring.
Originally launched for the 2000 model year in late 1999, the BMW X5 permanently changed the automotive landscape. It proved that the driving dynamics, responsiveness, and linear control signature of every BMW could be compatible with utility, versatility, and other-roads capability.
X5 xDrive50i: BMW's Twin-Turbocharged V-8
The new BMW X5 xDrive50i takes its place as the flagship of the X5 family, yielding 400 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 450 lb-ft of torque at 1,750 - 4,500 rpm from its twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter V-8 engine. Introduced in the BMW X6 in Spring of 2008, this all-aluminum V-8 features High Precision direct fuel injection, "reverse-flow" architecture for revolutionary responsiveness and packaging, and BMW' s VANOS variable valve timing technology. Together, these features create what may be the perfect balance between high fuel efficiency, low emissions, and the dominant, dynamic performance expected of a BMW V-8. The 0-100 km/h sprint is accomplished in 5.6 seconds.
X5 xDrive35i: BMW's Turbocharged Inline-6 with Valvetronic
BMW's new X5 xDrive 35i receives a brand new inline-6 gasoline engine featuring the same 3.0-liter displacement and 300 horsepower output of its predecessor, but features a new single twin-scroll turbocharger in place of the previous twin, low-mass turbocharger units. Furthermore, the new inline-6 of the X5 xDrive35i is the first BMW to combine BMW's revolutionary Valvetronic throttle-less intake technology, High Precision direct fuel injection, and turbocharging. The result of combining this new inline-6 with the new 8-speed automatic is an X5 with incredibly spontaneous responsiveness, exceptional power, and remarkable efficiency. The new X5 xDrive35i will perform the 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.8 seconds, coincidentally on the same pace as the outgoing V-8 powered X5 xDrive48i.
