The mid-size X5 sport SUV is new for 2007 and now offers third-row seating and seven-passenger capability. Compared with the outgoing model, the ’07 model is 7.4 inches longer overall — and 2.4 inches wider. BMW engineers say that the increased track improves stability — while the longer wheelbase (up to 115.5 inches from the previous 111 inches) should make pulling a trailer with the new model that much safer, too. It is offered in 3.0si and 4.8i versions, with the six-cylinder version producing 260 horsepower while the V-8 delivers 350 horsepower — in both cases, big upticks over the previous generation X5. A six-speed automatic is standard with both models; a manual transmission is no longer available. A “simplified” version of the infamous iDrive mouse controller is standard on both models and there’s an available Heads-up Display (HUD). Another major change is the electrically activated gear shifter, which is similar to the system first used on the 7-Series sedan. A Sport Package is available with 19-inch wheels (20-inch wheels are optional) and other upgrades. All-wheel-drive is standard and all models offer 8.3 inches of ground clearance. The ’07 X5 can tow up to 6000 lb when properly equipped.
