The BMW X5 is a mid-size, rear-wheel drive luxury SUV manufactured by BMW from 1999 to present. During many years, the car has undergone 4 generations with many improvements to stay attractive in customers’ eyes.

At the time the X5 was first introduced, it was known as the first SUV of BMW and it also featured all-wheel drive and was offered with either automatic or manual transmission. The first generation (E53) ended in 2006 to make room for the second generation. In 2006, the second generation X5 (E70) was released, coming with the torque-split capable xDrive all-wheel drive system paired with an automatic transmission. In 2009, the BMW X5 M performance debuted as a 2010 model.

BMW launched the BMW X5 as an SAV (Sport Activity Vehicle) rather than an SUV, to underline its on-road ability in spite of its size. The X5 also heralded the shift from light truck-based body-on-frame SUVs to crossovers underpinned by unibody car platforms which would come to fruition in the late 2000s, like the Lexus RX 300. Among German luxury manufacturers, whereas the BMW X5 had been beaten by the Mercedes-Benz M-Class by a year, the X5 was the first to utilize a unibody chassis while the M-Class utilized a light truck platform until its second generation. Whereas the Lexus RX is built based on the Toyota Camry mass market sedan, the BMW X5 have many things in common with the BMW 5 Series performance luxury sedan.
