As you likely recall, the F90 was all-wheel drive, and so is the modern-day G9X (G90 Sedan / G99 Touring). The F10 was made between 2011 and 2016, featuring a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission mated to the familiar 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The US and Canada also got a…

Buying an extended warranty at a dealership is generally pitched as the ultimate financial safety net. You pay a hefty upfront premium to ensure that if a catastrophic mechanical failure occurs, you won’t be left holding a massive repair bill.
In fact, the pictured example initially retailed for $70,845, and as mentioned in the title, it recently changed hands on the used car market, fetching $10,850. Thus, it has lost almost $60,000 in roughly one decade. You are looking at an xDrive35d BMW X5 from…
When BMW launched the X5 in 1999, it called it a Sports Activity Vehicle and dared critics to scoff. Instead, they found a tall wagon that handled like a sedan, and the X5 changed the luxury SUV market for good. Built at BMW's plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, it became one of the company's most important vehicles, beloved by American families and it set a sporty template that luxury rivals from Audi to Porsche would follow.
Over four generations the X5 grew larger, faster and more luxurious, adding plug-in hybrids, the fearsome X5 M and the coupe-like X6 sibling. Owners love the turbocharged six-cylinder engines and the planted ride; critics note the high cost of ownership, and stories of expensive out-of-warranty repairs on older models are a recurring internet favorite. The X5 has also long been a best-seller on the used market thanks to steep depreciation, which puts a once-expensive luxury SUV within reach of buyers brave enough to take on the maintenance.
The newest X5 is a radical redesign, with Neue Klasse styling, a new interior and screens galore, though early tests suggest it still drives in a familiar way. BMW plans to offer it with an unusually broad range of power: gasoline, diesel, plug-in hybrid, the fully electric iX5 and eventually a hydrogen fuel-cell version. Rivals include the Mercedes GLE, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Volvo XC90 and Genesis GV80. This page follows reviews, tests, recalls and pricing.
The SUV that taught luxury buyers a truck could handle, built in South Carolina and reborn with gas, hybrid, electric and hydrogen power.
