As well as the main versions of the new generation X5. Recall that last year it appeared on the market, which laid the foundation for the future development of the popular premium crossover. So what has changed in the new X5M?

So when comparing two generations of cars, the new front and rear optics immediately catch the eye. It should be noted that the headlights are made in the style of BMW 3-series optics, which drives many fans of the Bavarian brand crazy. There was also a rear and front bumper, which acquired a diffuser to help reduce aerodynamic air resistance.

Dimensions

When comparing the sizes of the two generations of machines, the practical identity is surprising. And this is despite the fact that the new car has become lighter by 30 kilograms. But the weight reduction was achieved not due to, but due to the use of lightweight components of the brake discs and other structural elements of the machine. This reduces the load on each wheel by 1.6 kg.

Interior

Sitting inside the cabin, you will feel as comfortable as at home. The quality of the finish is still excellent. The ergonomics are also admirable. Check out the sporty unique seats that give the X5 M's interior a more refined and luxurious look than regular SUV models. But the main change in the cabin is the gorgeous new M sports steering wheel with paddle shifters.

Engine / transmission

The new X5 M (F15) is equipped with the same engine as the previous generation (E70). It is a 4.4 liter gasoline engine with two large turbines. Despite this, thanks to a rigid structure, a lightweight crankshaft and an improved intake and exhaust system, the engineers managed to increase the engine power by 23 hp, as well as add 70 Nm of maximum torque.

In addition, it was possible to increase productivity and achieve fuel economy due to the installation on the new generation of the X5 M instead of the six-speed

Performance and economy

The extra dose of power that the hot crossover received, combined with the lighter weight and the new dual-clutch transmission, reduced the acceleration time from 0-100 km / h by half a second. As a result, the acceleration to one hundred kilometers is only 4.2 seconds. Agree for a car that weighs 2.2775 kilograms, this is an amazing result.

But in addition to increasing the power of the car, BMW engineers managed to reduce the level of harmful emissions to 258 g / km, as well as reduce the crossover to 11.1 l / 100 km (combined cycle - 50% city, 50% highway).

Outcome:

If you can afford it and think that the regular versions of the new F15 are not for you, then you can read our review of the new generations of BMW X6 M and X5 M crossovers.

The BMW X5, which debuted in 1999, was the brand's first production crossover. The production of cars was carried out at factories in the USA and Mexico.

When creating the car, the experience of the British company Rover belonging to the Bavarians, which produced Land Rover SUVs, was used. The crossover had a permanent all-wheel drive system (62% of the torque was transmitted to the rear wheels) and air suspension on all wheels.

The base BMW X5 was equipped with in-line six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, while the more powerful version had a V8 4.4 petrol engine under the hood developing 286 hp. from. In 2002, a "charged" version of the BMW X5 4.6is with an eight-cylinder 347 horsepower engine entered the market. Transmissions - mechanical or automatic.

As a result of restyling in 2003, the crossover received an updated design, an upgraded 4.4 engine and a new V8 4.8 engine with a capacity of 360 hp. from. At the same time, the car got a new xDrive all-wheel drive transmission with a clutch in the front wheel drive.

BMW X5 was officially sold in Russia, its main competitors were, and. At first, only gasoline cars were offered on our market, and in 2004 diesel crossovers appeared at dealerships.

The first generation of the BMW X5 model was produced until 2006, a total of 617,029 of these cars were made.

2nd generation (E70), 2006–2013

The second generation BMW X5 crossover, which was released in 2006, has become larger than its predecessor, acquired an optional third row of seats and has lost versions with a manual transmission. The car received modern electronic systems: active steering, electronically controlled shock absorbers, adjustable stabilizers, but the air suspension was now only on the rear axle.

Crossover production, as before, was carried out at factories in the USA and Mexico, and cars for the Russian market were assembled at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad. In 2006, a coupe-like crossover created on the same basis appeared.

At first, the BMW X5 was equipped with 3.0 (272 hp) and V8 4.8 (355 hp) gasoline engines, as well as three-liter turbodiesels of various capacities. All versions were equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission and had an all-wheel drive transmission with a front axle coupling.

3rd generation (F15), 2013–2018

The third generation of the BMW X5 crossover entered the assembly line of a plant in South Carolina, USA in 2013. A year later, the assembly of cars for the Russian market began in Kaliningrad.

The car was created on the modernized platform of its predecessor, it retained the same dimensions, air suspension at the rear and an optional third row of seats.

BMW X5 was equipped only with turbocharged engines: gasoline and diesel inline three-liter "sixes", as well as a V8 4.4 petrol engine with a capacity of 450 liters. from. Also, the crossover received a four-cylinder diesel with a volume of two liters, developing 218 or 231 liters. from.

BMW X5, which received the E53 index. According to the old tradition, the model was presented to the public at the Detroit Auto Show. It marked the beginning of a completely new approach to the creation of cars of this class. Many car enthusiasts positioned the X5 "BMW E53" as an off-road vehicle, but the creators insisted that the car belongs to the class of crossovers with a high degree of cross-country ability and sporting functionality.

A bit of history

Creating the first X5, the Germans did not hide that their main task was to surpass the Range Rover, producing the same respectable and powerful car, but with more modern equipment. Initially, the X5 "BMW E53" was produced at home - in Bavaria. After BMW took over Rover, the car was also produced in the American open spaces. Thus, the car mastered both Europe and the United States.

Of course, an auto giant like BMW couldn't produce a bad car. The X5 E53 model has everything the company is famous for: build quality, electronics precision, material reliability and other distinctive features of the "Bavarians". The hero of our discussion today is designed for comfortable travel on any surface and light off-road. In addition, the car was assigned a sports car class.

General information

The first generation model had a load-bearing body structure. It was packed with electronic systems, all-wheel drive, independent suspension, and increased ground clearance. The E53 series was distinguished by a stylish and spacious interior, which was very restrained, solid and luxurious at the same time. The standard equipment of the machine included:

• inserts made of wood and leather (classic for a German company);
• orthopedic chairs;
• steering wheel adjustment;
• climate control;
• electric sunroof;
• very roomy trunk.

To some extent, the E53 model still managed to catch up and surpass the Range Rover. Many details were frankly copied from the legendary SUV: the solidity of the exterior, the double-leaf rear door. Some functions have also come from the Rover to the X5, such as speed control on the descent.

Specifications X5 "BMW E53"

The first generation of the legendary crossover was refined many times both externally and constructively. One gets the impression that the Germans wanted to be ahead of their time and bring their creation to complete perfection. Initially, the car was produced, equipped with three different power plant options:

1. Gasoline engine 6-cylinder in-line.
2. The motor is 8-cylinder V-shaped. This type of engine was made of aluminum and featured a self-adjusting cooling system, continuous injection and digital electronics. Thanks to the powerful engine (286 hp), the car reached a speed of 100 km / h in almost 7 seconds. The motor is equipped with a proprietary Double Vanos gas distribution mechanism, which made it possible to squeeze the maximum speed out of the power plant at any speed. The engine was equipped with a 5-speed. This motor was considered the most interesting.
3. Diesel engine 6-cylinder.

Later, new, more powerful motors appeared. German mechanics have created an innovative torque distribution system: when a wheel slips, the program slows it down and gives more revolutions to the other wheels. This and much more determines the high cross-country ability of the car as a crossover. The rear axle has special elastic elements based on pneumatics. Even under high load, the electronics maintains the ride height at the proper level.

The brake system X5 "BMW E53" also has its own zest. Larger brake discs, together with an emergency stop control program, significantly increase the braking force. The above system takes effect when the brake pedal is fully depressed. The crossover also has a speed hold setting of about 11 km / h when descending from an incline. As for that in the basic versions, a manual transmission was available, and as an option - an automatic transmission. "BMW X5 E53" in expensive trim levels was immediately equipped with an automatic transmission.

Despite such an abundance of positive qualities, the car was far from a real SUV. The frame was soon changed to a supporting body, which naturally affected all the qualities of the car. The Germans were very keen on automation, although it often prevents the driver from solving a particular problem. For example, when entering a mountain or getting into a rut, the electronics does not allow you to downshift. And on sharp turns, the gas pedal freezes, and you can take the car to the desired radius only with the help of the steering wheel.

"BMW X5 E53": restyling of the technical part

Obeying the laws of the market, since 2003 the Germans began to modernize the E53 model:

1. All-wheel drive was completely redone.
2. The xDrive system was improved as much as possible: the electronics began to analyze the state of the roadway, the steepness of bends, measure the data obtained with the driving mode and independently regulate the torque between the axles.
3. Lateral roll and damping are automatically adjusted.
4. Parking has become easier thanks to the presence of two cameras.
5. The brakes received a system for removing moisture from the discs.
6. The system is so smart that any sudden release of the foot from the gas pedal is interpreted by it as preparation for emergency braking.

The V-shaped gasoline engine received the Valvetronic system, which regulates valve travel, as well as smooth intake adjustment. As a result, the engine power reached 320 hp. sec., and acceleration to the cherished 100 km was reduced to 7 seconds. The maximum speed, depending on the tires, was 210-240 km / h. Another useful change: the 5-speed gearbox has been replaced with a 6-speed one.

The upgraded crossover received a new diesel engine with a capacity of 218 liters. from. and a torque of up to 500 Nm. With this engine, even the most unpredictable obstacles were completely obeyed by BMW X5 E53. The diesel engine could reach a speed of 210 km / h, and accelerated to 100 km in 8.3 seconds.

BMW X5 E53: restyling of the interior and exterior

The body shape was also slightly changed, and the hood received a new, more expressive, radiator grille. The already respectable car began to look even more interesting. However, due to the plastic body kit, the car seemed a little softer. The bumpers and headlights have also received minor revisions. The body length has increased by 20 cm, which is quite a lot. The lengthening made it possible to add a third row of seats and to make the interior removed obsessive excesses and slightly modified the dashboard.

The restyled body has achieved almost perfect results in aerodynamics. Its Cx coefficient is 0.33, which is very good for a crossover.

Luxury pay

All of the above qualities, dressed in a chic shell, could well have become a reason for the X5 E53 to be included in the ranks of a luxury car, which entails not always pleasant consequences. For example, spare parts for this car cost a lot of money. However, taking into account the Bavarian quality, the repair of BMW X5 E53 was extremely rare for the owner. But what really amazes is the appetite of the crossover. With 10 liters per 100 km declared in the passport, it consumes almost twice as much. Another 5 liters - and the consumption will be comparable to the legendary "Hummer".

Achievements

Be that as it may, in 2002 in Australia, this model was recognized as the best four-wheel drive car. And after 3 years she made it to Top Gear and thus confirmed her title. It was by analogy with this car that such famous cars as the Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg and

In 2007, the history of the BMW X5 E53 car ended, and it was replaced by the new X5 with the E70 index.
