Euro Motors

driving dynamics, function and exclusivity in a Sport Activity
Vehicle (SAV). With the introduction of this new model, BMW
continues to lead the SAV sector through its innovative products
and designs, leading up to the BMW X5.
Featuring
powerful and refined eight and six cylinder engines mated to a
standard 6-gear automatic transmission, the BMW X5 also features

respectively.
A renewed
eight-cylinder engine on the BMW X5 4.8i outputs a maximum of
355 hp and 350-lb of torque between 3,400 and 3,800 rpm.
Acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds means the BMW X5

vehicles on the road,”
Added Mr. Al Zayani.
A newly designed
interior has been granted more space – 18.7 centimeters of
additional length and 6.8 centimeters of width – making the new
BMW X5 highly versatile, with space for up to seven occupants.
Innovative features and a high class interior ensure the driver
and passengers are offered both comfort and functionality.
“Innovative
technology and premium quality are on offer, combined with
elegant design and outstanding driving dynamics, making the BMW
X5 the vehicle of choice in the SAV segment.
A versatile and luxurious vehicle, the BMW X5 promises to
continue in the steps of its predecessor, offering an
unparalleled driving experience, unmatched quality and superior
engineering. “said Mr. Al Zayani.
The new BMW X5
is equipped with BMW’s trendsetting iDrive control concept to
mastermind the Navigation, Air Conditioning, Entertainment, and
Communication functions. As an option, information relevant to
the driver may also be presented on the Head-Up Display quite
unique in the SAV segment.
Mobile
entertainment for the BMW X5 is again offered at an even higher
standard – available second row DVD video system, a CD or DVD
changer in the glove compartment, as well as the innovative
multi-channel audio system are only some of the options on
offer.
“The new BMW X5
is sure to be the trendsetter in driving pleasure, offering
superior design, handling, and interior space and comfort. We
are certain the new X5 will continue with the promise of a
unique driving experience its predecessor started, and set
alight a new era for the SAV segment, “concluded Mr. Al Zayani.
