Enjoying the BMW X5

For almost 90 years, the BMW brand has been synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. Since opening its doors in 1913 in Munich, Germany, BMW has been committed to producing superior, high-quality products and the public has come to trust this commitment. Every year, BMW customers show their loyalty by purchasing vehicles of every conceivable BMW model. The BMW X5, one of the most popular models, has successfully and effectively maintained the reputation of the BMW brand and has attracted a loyal following of satisfied customers.

The BMW X5 is BMW’s answer to the SUV: a mid-size vehicle that has been on the market since 2000. This luxury SUV offered customers all-wheel drive and the choice between an in-line six-cylinder engine. or a V-8. BMW acquired Rover, a British automaker and producer of the Range Rover, in 1994. This acquisition allowed BMW to take a closer look at the Range Rover model and incorporate some of its salient features into the BMW X5.

However, the BMW X5, unlike the Range Rover, is not designed for off-road activities. Rather, it’s modeled after a luxury sedan and designed for high-quality road performance.

In 2004, the BMW X5 received a makeover, at which point it received the all-wheel drive known as x-Drive, an engine upgrade, additional exterior colors and redesigned headlamps.

Today’s BMW X5 is considerably larger than its original design and includes a redesigned luxury interior, trailer stabilization control, adaptive headlights and soft-close trunk-to-trunk features. Of course, it has also been equipped to include modern advancements in this new world of technology, including Bluetooth capabilities, active steering, and a reversing camera.

The BMW X5 has simply validated what has been true for the BMW brand for the past ninety years; quality matters. Customers with a budget to support a luxury vehicle are sure to continue to flock to the BMW brand for generations to come.
