The M Performance variant was unveiled at the New York Auto Show in April 2009, and went on sale in September 2009 (2010 model year). In 2009, the diesel xDrive35d variant became available in Canada and the United States, along with the BMW 335d 3-Series sedan. In 2010 BMW replaced the DVD-based CCC system (which powered iDrive) with a CIC hard drive system.
The X5 3.0si was renamed the X5 xDrive30i, and the X5 4.8i was renamed the X5 xDrive48i. Trim and engine level nomenclature for the X5 after 2008 follows the same nomenclature used for other BMW vehicles. The second generation featured key improvements, including BMW's iDrive system as standard across models, and an optional third row of seats for increased seven-passenger capacity. It debuted in July 2006 for the 2007 model year.
The E70 X5 is the second generation of the X5. This began in 2003 with the X3, and continued in 2008 with the X6 (which shares its platform with the X5). The automaker's SAV series, which was started by the X5, has expanded with derivations of other number-series BMWs. The X5 is also modified for armoured security versions, at the BMW de México Toluca plant. Assembly operations also take place in Russia by Avtotor, along with operations in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The X5 is primarily manufactured in North America, at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg. The M-Class used body-on-frame construction until its second generation. Although the Mercedes-Benz M-Class was introduced more than a year prior to the X5, the X5 was the first to utilise a monocoque chassis. The X5 signaled a shift away from the utilisation of body-on-frame construction, in favour of more modern monocoque chassis construction. īMW marketed the X5 officially as a "Sports Activity Vehicle" (SAV), rather than an SUV, to indicate its on-road handling capability despite its large dimensions. In 2009, the X5 M performance variant was released as a 2010 model. The E70 featured the torque-split capable xDrive all-wheel drive system mated to an automatic gearbox.
The second generation was launched in 2006, and was known internally as the E70. At launch, it featured all-wheel drive and was available with either a manual or automatic gearbox. The X5 made its debut in 1999 as the E53 model. The BMW X5 is a mid-size luxury SUV produced by BMW.
