ALL NEW BMW X5 TO BE PRICED FROM $46,595
Woodcliff Lake,
NJ - August 14, 2006
The all-new 2007 BMW X5 Sports Activity Vehicle
arrives in US showrooms this November with a base MSRP of $46,595 for the
six-cylinder X5 3.0si. The V8 X5 4.8i will be priced from
$55,195.
Both prices include destination and handling. Both models feature
significant enhancements over their predecessors. The X5 3.0si features BMW's
innovative 3.0-liter magnesium/aluminum inline six-cylinder engine with
Valvetronic technology. It produces 260 hp at 6,600 rpm and 225 lb-ft of
torque at 2,750 rpm. This represents a 35 gain in horsepower and an 11 lb-ft
increase in torque over the previous X5 3.0i. The 4.8-liter V8 in the X5
4.8i, which also features Valvetronic technology, produces 350hp at 6,300
rpm and 350 lb-ft of torque between 3,400-3,800 rpm. This is an increase
in horsepower of 35 and an increase in torque of 26 lb.-ft. Both models come
standard with a new six-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission for optimum
responsiveness and efficiency. Both new models offer significantly better
value with more standard features, particularly on the X5 3.0si, as well
as enhanced package content for both models. Xenon Adaptive headlights are
standard in both models, whereas Xenon headlights were previously optional
on the X5 3.0i. While a five-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission was
optional on the outgoing six-cylinder model, the next-generation six-speed
STEPTRONIC automatic is standard on both the new X5 3.0si and the X5 4.8i.
The X5 3.0si features standard 18-inch wheels and all-season tires, compared
to the standard 17-inch wheels and tires of its predecessor. Both models
feature a 205-watt, 12-speaker, multi-channel audio system as standard equipment.
The system features subwoofers under the front seats, an MP3 compatible in-dash
CD player and an auxiliary input jack. The option packages for both models
have been enhanced over the first-generation X5s.
The Premium Package now includes the following new items:
· Auto Dimming interior AND exterior mirrors (new for the X5 3.0si)
· Compass Mirror (new for the X5 3.0si)
· Universal Garage Door Opener
· BMW Assist now included for four years instead of the previous one
Included with BMW Assist is Teleservice, for the ultimate in
service convenience, as well as Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity.
The premium package still includes the Panoramic Moonroof and, on the X5
3.0si, leather upholstery. The Sport Package now includes new items such
as19-inch wheels with all-season tires and Active Roll Stabilization combined
with Electronic Damping Control. On the X5 4.8i the wheels and tires may
be upgraded to 20-inch wheels with performance tires in combination with
the sports package. The Rear Climate Package now includes a true 4-zone climate
control system with separate left/right temperature and fan-speed settings
for the rear-seat passengers. The package also includes Privacy Glass and
rear side sunshades. New packages for the new BMW X5 include the Active
Ventilated Seat Package and the Technology Package. The Active Ventilated
Seat Package includes an Active Seat for the driver, Ventilated Front Seats,
and multi-contour front seats with lumbar support. The Technology Package
includes BMW's on-board Navigation System, Park Distance Control and the
new Rearview Camera. There are a number of significant new options available
on the new X5, most notably a third-row seat for seating up to seven. Also
available is a Rear Seat Entertainment system with a factory-installed DVD
player with an eight-inch monitor. Active Steering is available for the first
time on a vehicle with all-wheel drive. Comfort Access and Head-up display
are also available. Sirius Satellite Radio is available as a factory option
in combination with either the standard sound system or the optional 600-watt,
16-speaker Premium Sound System which includes 5.1 Dolby surround sound.
The new BMW X5 will be offered with BMW Ultimate ServiceTM, a suite of services
that includes the BMW Maintenance Program (formerly called Full Maintenance),
Roadside Assistance, the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and BMW AssistTM with
