"BMW X5", reviews about which in most cases are positive, is a crossover. It was first introduced to the world society in 1999. This name was given to the car, because "X" means all-wheel drive, and "5" is that the basis for the car was the BMW E39 model. The difference between them is that the new version is slightly shorter than the previous one, but it is also wider in width and height.

The new model was made in a sports type, so the functions of the SUV are reduced here. The car is assembled in the United States for both the domestic and American market, and for the European market. The sale of "BMW X5" (diesel - the main engine used in these models) came in 1999-2000.

First generation

The first model of the line "BMW X5" (reviews below) was demonstrated to the world of motorists in 1999. Initially, the company introduced the car as a crossover with a high enough traffic and good handling, people also called it an unstable SUV. When developing this car, the company did not hide that it was going to create a "miracle", which would become much better Range Rover.

Specifications of the first generation

Reviews about the car fully justify its cost and, in fact, relying on them, we can say that the Range was able to surpass the Germans. Gradually, after the release of the model X5, BMW constantly tried to change its appearance, modernize the technology, releasing all the new options. For example, after a while, the engine was already equipped with a 286 horsepower engine. The first option was a motor for 6 cylinders, then it was replaced by an 8-cylinder, which has an injection mode, rapid acceleration, cooling.

Changes in this area are not affected. The car is assembled in the same place in the United States. The car is equipped with new technical devices, a trip in such a crossover will be as safe, comfortable and loyal as possible.

In this "restart" of the line, large changes were made in the engine: the 6-liter engine was replaced by an assembly having 306 horsepower. In diesel versions, the car runs on a 6-cylinder engine.

The third generation

Tuning "BMW X5" in the third generation is completely different from its ancestors. Three versions of the car were first sold to the markets of the Russian Federation, but a little later the range expanded. Real car enthusiasts, the design of the new crossover can be disappointing, as it has a tender and feminine features. But if you look at such a decision from a German company on the other hand, then this design completely corresponds to the modern style.

Model X5 is not too gluttonous - fuel consumption in the city on average 11.5-12.0 l / 100 km, which is quite good. It is possible to increase fuel consumption in winter to 13.0 l / 100 km. On the road, this indicator decreases to a modest level of 8 l / 100 km. When driving, the car easily accelerates at 160 km / h, then the dynamics are somewhat reduced, but you can easily go 180-190 km / h.

The car confidently overcomes the snow obstacles of small and medium size, but it has obvious difficulties with drifts above the ground clearance. There is a danger of planting the car on the bottom, and there is no way to do without a shovel.
