This lineup offers five different models: xDrive40i, sDrive40i, xDrive45e, M50i, and M. Each one focuses on a different aspect of performance.
For example, the xDrive40i and sDrive40i are considered the X5 core models. Therefore, they share the same 3.0L turbocharged inline-6-cylinder engine and an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission. Both the xDrive40i and the sDrive40i can go from 0 to 60 MPH in a matter of 5.3 seconds. And this is only the beginning.
The lineup even offers its own plug-in hybrid: the xDrive45e. Its electrical output can reach up to an EPA-estimated 50 MPGe.1 On a single charge, you’re able to travel up to 50 miles just on its electrical output alone. When this power source is used up, your vehicle can then tap into its turbocharged engine.
Choose the X5 M50i model and receive its standard 4.4L V8 engine. Let’s check out this engine’s configurations:
| Horsepower | 523 horsepower |
| Torque | 553 lb-ft |
| Acceleration (0 to 60 MPH) | 4.1 seconds |
This advanced engine manages to bring even more momentum to your pedal. This is perfect for times you need to conquer steep inclines or uneven roads.
Finally, the BMW X5 M can peak with an engine output of 617 horsepower when paired with the optional Competition Package. The model handles this power using standard 6-piston front M compound brakes that provide a precise and aggressive brake performance.
As for what these models have in common, each X5 comes with Dynamic Damper Control and your pick of either Adaptive M Suspension or 2-axle self-leveling air suspension, which enhances your performance and vehicle stability.
