It’s important to say without a doubt the BMW X5 M Sport is one of the most refined, luxurious and sporty SUVs on the market to date.
The X5 M Sport 30d xDrive has a 3l straight 6 diesel engine with twin turbo and adblue, intelligent awd. This 2.1 tonne behemoth develops 620nm of torque and tops out at 140+mph.
This week the Planet Auto team put it to the test taking a look at the cars practicality, functionality, and Ben finds out what it’s like to drive and then ask the important question.... Is this the car for you?
The model we tested retails for a touch under £74,000, as well as all of the M Sport additions such as the brake callipers and wheels options also include panoramic sun roof and Laser Lights.
It can promptly accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.5 Seconds whilst still achieving a very respectable economy, and is loaded with safety tech including assisted driving, HUD and descent control.
The levels of comfort in this SUV are amazing more likened to 1st class flight, fully electric front seats, with virtually every adjustment you could ever need.
A roomy boot with dual power tail gate, and air suspension meaning you can lower the vehicle for loading.
This is an excellent SUV, high levels of refinement and looks to match.
