Launched in 2018, the fourth-generation BMW X5 G05 expanded the model's footprint and elevated its luxury credentials with the versatile CLAR modular platform. Boasting a formidable road presence, optional laser headlights and an opulent cabin with dual 12.3-inch displays running BMW Operating System 7, it delivered outstanding touring refinement. Maintaining this sophisticated luxury machine demands structured BMW X5 maintenance, ensuring that complex chassis pneumatics and high-voltage electronics receive expert care.
The mechanical range comprised the robust B57 diesels (30d, M50d), the sweet B58 petrol (40i), the thunderous M50i V8 and the standout xDrive45e plug-in hybrid combining the B58 straight-six with a 24 kWh high-voltage battery. All models channel drive through the flawless ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox and rear-biased xDrive. An optional two-axle air suspension with five selectable ride height levels delivered magnificent ride suppleness, though it introduces multiple pneumatic lines and air bellows to inspect.
