bmw x5 review australia

The BMW X5 in Australia is a posh playground for those who like their SUVs with a side of indulgence and a dash of driving thrill. Under the bonnet, expect a range of engines from a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six to a beefier 4.4-litre V8, all paired with an 8-speed automatic and the brand’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system. Interior? Plush, tech-laden, and spacious enough to make your local coffee shop jealous. Prices start around $110,000 AUD new, while used models can be found from about $40,000 AUD depending on age and spec. Common gripes include costly maintenance and a complex infotainment system that might have you reaching for the owner's manual—or a stiff drink.
