Full Description: Although no longer the only sport-oriented SUV on the market the 2013 BMW X5 remains true to its original formula. Where others have grown larger the X5 retains its modest size and seating arrangement. And while many SUVs have moved to deliver a softer ride with compromised handling the BMW X5 for 2013 retains for better or worse the same firm steering aggressive handling and notoriously stiff ride. The X5s various trims cover a wide range from the entry-level 6-cylinder X5 xDrive35i to the performance oriented xDrive50i with the M Performance Package to the tire-smoking X5 M. Due to a late introduction last year the diesel-powered xDrive35d will continue as a 2012 until late in the 2013 model year. Driving the Used 2013 BMW X5With a sophisticated suspension excellent braking communicative steering and at least 300 horsepower the 2013 BMW X5 in any of its iterations provides a compelling testament to BMWs engineering prowess. No amount of engineering however can completely disguise the X5s mass some 5000 pounds in basic xDrive35i form. This remains a Sport Activity Vehicle and not notably a sport sedan; care should be given to operate an SUV in a more conservative manner than a sport sedan or Sports/GT. If you demand a combination of "sport" and "utility" few will deliver that combo more credibly than BMWs FeaturesxDrive35d DIESELOffering 265 horsepower and a stump-pulling 425 lb-ft of torque BMWs Advanced Diesel is the perfect engine for the times. It delivers acceleration from zero to 60 mph in under seven seconds and has an EPA highway fuel-economy number of 26 FULL-TIME ALL-WHEEL DRIVEWith limited ground clearance and all-season tires the 2013 X5 has few off-road aspirations but it does have one of the best all-weather all-wheel-drive systems available which electronically varies front-to-rear torque and traction control to optimize 2013 BMW X5 InteriorIn "growing" the brand BMW expanded X5 cargo capacity via a longer and higher body in combination with a lower cargo floor. Rear seats fold flat and an optional third row is available. That third row is best reserved for children; BMWs target demographic for the 2013 X5 SUV is young families. The cockpit is oriented to the driver while a generous greenhouse provides excellent outward visibility. Regrettably (given its starting price) leatherette is the standard seating material for both the xDrive35i and xDrive35d. The handy 2-piece tailgate provides easy access to the rear 2013 BMW X5 ExteriorThe 2013 BMW X5 somehow manages to hide its bulk with a series of clever angles and rounded edges. These cues in combination with a longish wheelbase and short overhangs give the new X5 a visual athleticism not evident on the previous generation. Eighteen-inch wheels (standard) contribute to a planted stance while both 19-inch and 20-inch wheels are available for those wanting an even more aggressive look and more aggressive on-road 2013 BMW X5 Standard FeaturesAll X5 models enjoy a generous level of standard equipment.

The great thing about BMWs engine mix is that not one of them sacrifices performance; even the slowest BMWs 3.0-liter turbodiesel accelerates from a stop to 60 mph in under seven seconds. If you should want to stretch the envelope to its max opt for the X5 M. This variant (of the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8) offers no less than 555 horsepower.* While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information we are not responsible for any errors or omissions contained on these pages.
