X5 BMW X5 named luxury used car of the decade


The BMW X5 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced by BMW. The X5 made its debut in 1999 as the E53 model. It was BMW's first SUV. BMW marketed the X5 officially as a "Sports Activity Vehicle" (SAV), rather than an SUV, to indicate its on-road handling capability despite its large dimensions.

The BMW X5 has been named by CAP as the luxury used car of the decade. The residual value and whole life costs experts praised the X5 for setting a new benchmark and taking the 4x4 from the field and putting it on the motorway, but most of all making it feel like it has always belonged there. It was the effortless usability, faultless build quality and strong influence on the marketplace that wooed the judges.

Mike Hind, CAP Communications Manager, said: "For the used car buyer who does need a workhorse, with towing power and room for the whole family’s holiday load, the 2000 – 2006 BMW X5 provides it. But it also offers the opportunity to leave the green wellingtons and the horse box at home and enjoy driving as a pleasure in itself."

Since its inception in 2000 the BMW X5 has been a popular choice with British car buyers, selling 64,063 since its launch. The first model to feature BMW’s acclaimed xDrive four-wheel-drive system, the X5 has inspired other BMWs as well as created a new class of vehicle that has since been emulated by many other manufacturers.

Wel done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:t-cheers

This honor are well deserved, a legend!:bowdown:
 
A well-deserved winner! God knows how much I love the face-lifted first-gen X5 with the sports kit on. And if it's in Imola-Red... :icondrool

 
I remember seeing the first generation X5 at the Chicago autoshow in either 1999 or 2000 and I was blown away. It so kicked the first generation ML off the road. There was really nothing like it (sport wise) at the time.
