BMW X5

The BMW X5 has been on sale since 1999 and what started out as a niche seller in the BMW catalogue is now very much in the mainstream. What was originally derided for being neither a proper BMW nor a proper off-roader is now one of the finest large SUVs you can buy. Here at Lloyd Blackpool BMW, we are proud to present this beautiful BMW X5 xDrive40d MHT M Sport finished in Dravit Grey metallic paint complimented with Black Extended Merino Leather. The car comes with 22" Double Spoke 742 M Jet Black alloy wheels. The X5 features BMW s last-generation interior design, which has been superseded by the cleaner, screen-dominated set-up as found in the 3 and 4 Series. It s still a design with a noticeable lack of buttons on the dashboard and centre console, but dominated by a pair of large screens. Interior quality is excellent there s a strong sense of solidity to everything inside, with higher-spec models featuring leather-clad dashboards, while even the entry models feature plush materials and luxurious leather seats with electrical adjustment as standard. Plant your right foot and the X5 gives you a swift kick in the back and catapults forwards with very little drama. The slick eight-speed automatic gearbox works its way through the gears swiftly and smoothly, and the engine itself providing a meaty soundtrack without getting too raucous. But it will happily potter the benefits of a big car continue to show themselves at the back the X5 offers 650 litres of boot space with the rear seats in place. Accessed via an electric tailgate that splits you have a choice of opening it fully or just the top section without the lower bit coming down.
