In 1999, we introduced a whole new vehicle category to the world: the Sport Activity Vehicle. Now, seven years later, we’ve expanded on a great idea. The 2008 BMW X5 4.8i boasts an impressive 350 horses and maximum torque of 350 lb-ft — an increase of 35 hp and 26 lb-ft, respectively. And yet, thanks to equally powerful technology, the engine is also fuel-efficient.

The rest of the SAV didn’t go overlooked. For the first time, the X5 offers the convenience of a third-row seat, plus premium details throughout. Enjoy ventilated leather seats, four-zone climate control and a rear seat entertainment system. It’s the perfect combination of pleasure and performance.
