Vehicle Description
You're looking at an ideal modern classic. This 2006 BMW X5 4.8is
is from the first generation of BMW's first SUV, and it's the one
with the big V8. So a low-mileage example is going to have
collectability. But while you're waiting for admiration to grow,
you will always have a luxury machine that has room for the whole
family and is loaded with all every feature you could want.
This X5 is the first SUV model from BMW. It was a leap in a new
direction, and they weren't about to make mistakes or cut corners.
They took the well-creased lines of their sedans and added a taller
prowess. As you look over the whole vehicle, you can see how the
style expertly adds beefy lines that also are sporty. That
especially goes for the factory 20-inch wheels. This SUV has been
enjoyed over the last 15 years. But it's less of a commuter, and it
shows far more of the kind of respect you expect from a vehicle
that has averaged less than 2,800 miles annually. And we like that
someone has shown this one proper respect. This X5 4.8 was a great
recipe that took European sleekness and driving characteristics,
and gave it an American size and proper V8 power. So it only made
sense for this German to be built in the USA. It really fits into
the full perspective of a premium and sleek machine with a nice
hint of muscle car prowess.
This was the upper-level echelon of the X5, and so it was built to
be a very luxurious machine. The included window sticker shows a
long list of desirable standard amenities you don't get in many
other vehicles, including heated seats (front & rear) and a
panoramic sunroof. The upholstery is a beautiful back Nappa
leather, and the low mileage means less seat time, so they are in
excellent condition. The front buckets power-adjust to the ideal
position, the rear seats have adult-sized legroom, and the cargo
area is large enough for everybody to go on vacation. Everyone
stays happy thanks to power windows, power locks, keyless
entry/alarm, dual front airbags, side airbags, cruise control, and
dual-zone automatic climate control. And the stereo has even been
upgraded to a Kenwood touchscreen infotainment unit that is your
hub for the AM/FM/CD radio, satellite radio, and Bluetooth. As a
true BMW, it knows how to make the drive a priority with a power
adjusting and heated steering wheel. And the full gray-backed
gauges have the nice look of a performance M-style machine.
Under the hood is what makes this one so special. The 4.8-liter V8
engine is both versatile and powerful, and so this motor found its
way into everything from the flagship 7-Series sedan to Morgan
sports cars. It's a modern fuel-injected powerhouse with dual
overhead camshafts and variable valve timing. That means its 355
horsepower is delivered smoothly and swiftly in all conditions. In
fact, speaking of all conditions, the six-speed automatic
transmission knows how to give quick kick-downs into power as well
as deliver easy overdrive cruising. As a true BMW this one knows
how to be a great driver. The fully independent suspension, power
steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and ZR-rated tires are all
part of a package engineered to make this the sports car of SUVs.
And the all-wheel drive means grip even on wet and slippery
roads.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker and
owner's manual packet. This is the speedy, elegant, fun, loaded,
and prestigious modern classic wrapped in a useful SUV design. Call
