Active Steering will keep you safe by adapting the steering angle for each bend in the road.

The Active Steering system adjusts both steering ratio and steering force in relation to driving speed. At low to medium speeds, a small turn of the steering wheel translates into a big turn of the front wheels. You enjoy more agility in city driving, quicker turns on twisting roads, and easier parking maneuvers. At higher speeds, a larger turn of the steering wheel is needed to turn the front wheels, resulting in greater stability.

Whichever of the two engines you opt for, you’ll experience the joy of driving combined with impressive efficiency. The xDrive50i with a V8 engine impresses with its power and sophistication, while the xDrive35i with an inline 6-cylinder engine lets its efficiency speak for itself.

The new X5 xDrive50i is equipped with the 4.4L TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine, producing 400-hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. This more powerful engine has 50 more horsepower and 100 lb-ft of torque than the previous 4.8L V-8, resulting in a 1.1 second faster 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds*. And thanks to High Precision Injection (HPI), maximum efficiency is extracted due to precisely measured doses of fuel being injected into the combustion chamber.

The new X5 xDrive35i is powered by the TwinPower Turbo engine with Valvetronic. The new inline 6-cylinder engine produces 300-hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, which represents a 40-hp and 75 lb-ft of torque increase versus the outgoing engine; and as such, the 0-60 mph is now as fast as the outgoing V-8 at 6.4 seconds*.

For a smooth and easily controlled descent when negotiating steep, downhill gradients of up to 15 percent. Hill Descent Control (HDC) allows drivers to concentrate fully on steering without having to brake.

Thanks to xDrive, the BMW X5 maintains perfect traction even on difficult road conditions. This intelligent system uses its Dynamic Stability Control sensors to detect the early signs of instability and reacts instantly as needed.

Engine power is distributed flexibly and variably to each axle: the axle with the greatest traction receives the most power, delivering optimum road-holding, perfect performance on bends and excellent forward thrust.

You don't have to fly business class to be able to experience instant acceleration to top speeds with negligible interruption. The eight-speed automatic transmission Steptronic not only ensures incredibly soft gear changes across all eight gears, it also significantly reduces fuel consumption.

The new eight-speed automatic transmission Steptronic shifts gears so fast and seamlessly you can hardly spot it on the rev counter. The additional gears reduce the engine's rev interval between shifts, so the transmission process is barely noticeable. At the same time, the engine is always held at the performance level at which it can optimally utilise its strength and efficiency.

The eighth gear reduces the number of revolutions at high speeds, tangibly increasing comfort while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The system is supported by the newly developed and more efficient converter clutch – even if you use the electronic gearshift lever to change gear manually.

EfficientDynamics, a philosophy that helps us reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency in all of our cars.

The side air intakes have been enlarged for improved cooling, and the side panel has been modified. The black trim at the bottom edge of the body is reduced. The reshaped rear bumper with more body color trim, seamlessly leads to the tailpipe.

The taillights have been redesigned to an L-shape and now have LED lights for a cleaner design. The fog lights have been moved inwards, making the vehicle appear lower and there are new wheel designs. Finally, new interior and exterior colors are available; these include Platinum Gray, Deep Sea Blue, Sparkling Bronze, Oyster and Cinnamon Bronze Nevada Leather.

Every angle from within the BMW X5, with its fine woods, selected leathers and understated metal elements create an atmosphere of comfort and style.

The optional and innovative Head-Up Display shows relevant information, like current speed, directly in the driver's field of vision. The height and brightness of the display can be individually adjusted, so that the driver can fully concentrate on the traffic at all times.

Exclusive and unmistakably powerful, the M sports package* accentuates the dynamic character of the BMW X5. Bumper and running boards in body color, as well as entry sills with the M logo, are only the first in a long line of powerful and sporting impressions.

A vehicle as flexible as you are has a third row of seats that’s quickly available whenever you need it. The two additional seats face forward and can be adjusted individually.

Athletic performance and comfort are no longer mutually exclusive: if desired, Adaptive Drive combines the two active chassis control systems, Dynamic Drive and Dynamic Damping Control, for a more relaxed driving experience.

Adaptive Drive calculates lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and speed and steering angle, to ensure an elevated performance. In curves or sudden changes of direction, the use of Active Roll Stabilization (ARS) affects handling to minimize body roll and keep the vehicle level. By virtually eliminating swaying or tilting behavior, Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) also delivers unmatched agility, for exceptional comfort and unmatched driving pleasure.

Now you can offer your passengers more than the view out the window. The DVD system in the rear with rotatable display is mounted between the front seats and lets rear-seat passengers enjoy great entertainment. A vibration-resistant DVD player is fitted in the central console and headphones ensure that the driver is not distracted. So instead of "Are we there yet?" you'll hear "Are we already there?"

New Adaptive Headlights in the 2010 BMW X5 illuminate bends by optimally adjusting the swiveling bi-xenon headlights as soon as the driver turns the steering wheel.

HD Radio, SIRIUS satellite radio or iPod/iPhone USB system. Audio options like these make every road trip just as comfortable for your ears.

HD Radio broadcasting is the new, digital standard for AM and FM radio stations, and now comes equipped in every 2011 BMW model. HD Radio stations are broadcast in crystal-clear digital sound and offer innovative data services, such as song artist and title scrolling across the screen-all subscription free from your local AM and FM radio stations. (For further information on HD Radio receivers and to discover HD Radio™ AM/FM stations near you, go to www . HDRadio . com.)

BMW X5 has its own assistant. Lane Departure Warning provides discreet support and active assistance to avoid dangerous situations. A camera recognizes the edge of the road and its markings, and the system warns the driver of unintentional lane changes.

BMW Ultimate Service is included at no charge with all new BMWs for the first four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

It includes the BMW Maintenance Program, which covers all factory-recommended maintenance and items that need replacement due to normal wear and tear; a New Vehicle Limited Warranty; four-year, unlimited-mileage Roadside Assistance, and, if the vehicle is equipped, a four-year, unlimited subscription to the BMW Assist Safety Plan.

Choose the fastest route, the shortest route or the one that avoids traffic. Where available, traffic information is received by a separate radio tuner and then displayed on the navigation system. You don't have to listen to a specific radio station, or even have the radio on, to receive updates every few minutes. And you can see everything clearly on the large, high-resolution screen.

In critical situations, every second counts. The enhanced emergency call function, a BMW ConnectedDrive service, is automatically activated following an incident and provides information such as the vehicle's position and the type of accident.

As soon as the airbags on the vehicle are activated, you are automatically connected to the BMW Call Center. The position of the BMW X5 as well as the data collected by the crash sensors (e.g., airbag activation or passenger occupancy) is evaluated and passed on. This ensures that the rescue services are fully informed as to the type of accident and are prepared when they arrive at the scene. If you witness an accident without being involved yourself, you can activate the emergency call manually. The enhanced emergency call is available in selected countries.
