A High-Five for the 2011 BMW X5
Your BMW dealer is excited that the 2011 BMW X5 is one of the best BMW models in the sport-utility vehicle lineup. The X5 combines precise handling with multiple safety features and a comfortable interior, which makes this model the perfect family car.
The 2011 BMW X5 is offered in four different trims, including the xDrive35i, xDrive35d, xDrive50i and X5 M. And there is no doubt that the X5 variant models all share one thing in common: the need for speed. The standard xDrive35i model is outfitted with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, which boasts 300 horsepower. The xDrive50i ups the ante to 400 horsepower with a V-8 engine. If that is not enough horsepower for you, then the X5 M, which offers 555 horsepower and is powered by a twin-turbo V-8 engine is your best option.
Another one of the main advantages to the BMW X5 is its comfortable, luxurious, and quiet interior, with space for up to seven passengers and some cargo. Even though the BMW X5 is not a large sports-utility vehicle, there is plenty of room for passengers because the rear seats are uniquely arranged in two bench rows with three seats each.
Sports-utility vehicles frequently have a bad reputation for poor fuel economy statistics, but the BMW X5 standard trim averages 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 miles per gallon on the highway. Your BMW dealer can assure prospective BMW X5 drivers that the fuel economy figures are much better than other similar sport-utility vehicles.
The BMW X5 also has plenty of standard safety features such as dual front and side airbags, front and rear head-protecting airbags and adaptive brake lights. Drivers can choose additional safety features, including Hill Descent Control and trailer stabilization.
Although the standard BMW X5 model has several exciting features including the iDrive controller, dynamic cruise control and speed-sensitive power steering, there are also many optional extras to choose from when accessorizing your BMW X5 such as, smartphone integration, navigation system, panoramic moonroof and active steering.
