X5 M

The BMW M performance derivative of the F15 X5 is designated F85 and was released in 2015. Its S63B44T2 4.4 liter V8 engine has 567 hp (423 kW; 575 PS) and 553 lb⋅ft (750 N⋅m) of torque, making it the most powerful engine ever developed for an all-wheel drive BMW at the time. The engine has M TwinPower Turbo and Valvetronic technologies, to deliver a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 4.2 seconds.[15]

An M-tuned xDrive all-wheel drive system provides traction. It distributes drive between the front and rear axles, while Dynamic Performance Control distributes torque between the 21-inch M Double-spoke light-alloy wheels.[15]

X5 xDrive40e
The BMW X5 xDrive40e is a plug-in hybrid with an all-electric range of 23 km (14 mi).

The BMW X5 xDrive40e is the first plug-in hybrid released under the core BMW brand. The use of BMW's eDrive technology on the established X5 platform is a direct technology transfer from the BMW i cars, in particular, from the BMW i8 technology.[9]

The X5 xDrive40e features a 2.0 L turbocharged gasoline engine 242 hp; 180 kW (245 PS) coupled to a 111 hp; 113 PS (83 kW) electric motor and a 9.0 kWh battery.

The production of the plug-in hybrid variant was scheduled to begin in April 2015.[9][16][17] Retail deliveries in the U.S. began in October 2015.[18] Pricing starts at US$62,100 plus US$995 destination charge before any applicable government incentives.[19]

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rated the X5 xDrive40e combined city/highway fuel economy at 68 mpg‑US (3.5 L/100 km; 82 mpg‑imp) equivalent (MPG-e) in all-electric mode (energy consumption of 59 kW-hrs/100 mi). The fuel economy in gasoline-only mode was rated at 24 mpg‑US (9.8 L/100 km; 29 mpg‑imp). EPA's all-electric range is 14 mi (23 km) with the car using some gasoline, and as a result, EPA's official range varies between 0 and 14 mi.[20]

BMW X5 sDrive35i

BMW introduced the sDrive rear-wheel drive system with this generation of X5. sDrive aimed to increase agility over traditional rear-wheel drive SUVs.[21]

BMW X5 emergency vehicles (2014-)

The BMW X5 has been made into emergency response vehicles with the engines sDrive25d, xDrive30d and xDrive40d.

The vehicle was unveiled at the 14th RETTmobil trade fair in Fulda (xDrive30d).[22]

Specifications

Design

The new generation BMW X5 is 5 mm (0.2 in) wider, 26 mm (1.0 in) longer and 14 mm (0.6 in) lower than E70, but wheelbase remains at 2,933 mm (115.5 in). At the front F15 takes design from F30 3 Series while at the back it's similar to other current X series models. The interior now features 10.25 inch display. The exterior, designed by BMW designer Mark Johnson, was approved in November 2010 and production finalized in 2011.[23]

Technology

BMW claims the new X5 is made of ultra-high-tensile steel in the body structure, thermoplastics in the side panels, aluminium in the bonnet and magnesium in the instrument panel support to make the new BMW X5 lighter. Depending on the model, the new X5 is as much as 90 kg (198 lb) lighter than a comparably equipped corresponding model from the previous X5 generation.[24]

Equipment
Interior

In 2013, model-specific BMW Individual options were added to the optional extras already available for all engine variants of the new BMW X5. Options included BMW Individual fine-grain Merino leather trim in Criollo Brown and Amaro Brown (stitching and piping in a contrasting colour and decorative perforations on the seat surfaces), BMW Individual interior trim strips in Piano Finish Black and Sen Light Brown fine wood, 20-inch BMW Individual light-alloy wheels in V-spoke design with mixed tyres and additional body colours (Mineral Silver, Glacier Silver and Imperial Blue diamond effect metallic paint variants; BMW Individual finishes Ruby Black metallic and Pyrite Brown metallic).

* North American xDrive35d models used the six-cylinder engine from the European-specification xDrive30d models. Vehicles with Diesel engine sold in the United States were since end of 2008 equipped with selective catalysator using Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to reduce NOx emissions, while vehicles sold in Europe had a bypass exhaust pipe only due to the regulations which ended up in Dieselgate.[26]

Transmissions

All models include an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
