The BMW X5 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV sold by BMW since 2000.
It features all wheel drive and a line of straight-6 and V8 engines.
For non-US models there is a 3.0 L diesel engine.
In contrast to the Range Rover models, however, the X5 was designed as a sporting road car, and its off-road capabilities are significantly less than Land Rover products.
BMW reportedly worked hard to ensure it was referred to as an SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) instead of an SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle).
When tested off road on the BBC television programme Top Gear, the test vehicle lost traction and was
towed by a 1960s vintage Land Rover.
