BMW X5 2007 Bahrain Prices & Specs

BMW's American-built 4WD has been completely redesigned for the 2007 model year, and comes in two models in this region, namely the 3.0si with a 6-cylinder engine, and the 4.8i with a V8, with trim levels such as Business, Sports and Exclusive. The X5 has all-wheel-drive without low-range gearing, but does come with ABS and traction control. The new X5 mates the two engines to a revised chassis and a more responsive 6-speed automatic transmission. Redesigned to be longer, wider and taller than its predecessor, the X5 now offers optional 7-passenger seating, increased interior room and a host of new features, including standard 18-inch wheels, a tyre-pressure monitor, new occupant-detection sensor in front passenger seat and a new rear differential. The all-new interior features include more space, 10-way power front seats, new leather colour schemes and improved cargo area. Options include active steering, automatic tailgate, aluminium stepping boards, third-row seating, and rims all the way to 21-inch alloys. The X5 is far from an off-roader, but it has built up a reputation for excellent on-road driving dynamics, and has become popular with rich people who like to terrorise other road users. However, the improved xDrive all-wheel-drive system is supposed to offer better off-road capability. An M-Sport package is optional, and includes a body kit.
