The new X5 sets another benchmark for driving excellence with powerful 8- and 6- cylinder engines, unique suspension, further enhanced xDrive technology and a weigh-optimized bodyshell with extreme torsional stiffness. The result is a vehicle possessing excellent agility and dynamic performance. <\/p>\n<p>The New X5 will be shipped to more than 100 countries from its factory in Spartanburg. It represents BMW\u2019s most overt effort yet to expand its appeal beyond driving enthusiasts with Y chromosomes. This new X5 is the only vehicle in its segment available with both Active Steering developed by BMW and Adaptive Drive (a combination of anti0roll stabilization and adaptive dampers). It is also the first SAV worldwide fitted with Safety Tyres as a standard feature. <\/p>\n<p><img width=\"500\" src='http:\/\/www.livingsense.info\/auto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/x5-004.jpg' alt='BMW X5' \/><br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe standard features: <\/p>\n<p>Transmission<br \/>\n\u2022 6-Speed Electronically Controlled Adaptive, Manually Interactive Automatic Transmission With Overdrive<br \/>\n\u2022 Steptronic Manually Interactive Transmission<br \/>\n\u2022 Adaptive Transmission Control (ATC) Adaptive Automatic Transmission<\/p>\n<p>Steering<br \/>\n\u2022 Power Tilt Steering Wheel<br \/>\n\u2022 3-Position Memory Steering Column<br \/>\n\u2022 Automatic Tilt Away Steering Column<br \/>\n\u2022 Power Engine Speed Sensitive Rack and Pinion Variable Assisted Steering<br \/>\n\u2022 Power Engine Speed Sensitive Rack and Pinion Variable Assisted Steering<br \/>\n\u2022 Power Telescopic Steering Wheel<\/p>\n<p>Suspension<br \/>\n\u2022 Rear Automatic Load-Leveling<br \/>\n\u2022 Independent Double Pivot Strut-Type Front Suspension With Coil Springs and Twin Tube Gas Pressure Shock Absorbers<br \/>\n\u2022 Independent 4-Link Integrated Rear Suspension With Air Springs and Twin Tube Gas Pressure Shock Absorbers<br \/>\n\u2022 Rear Stabilizer Bar<\/p>\n<p>Electrical<br \/>\n\u2022 Battery Saver<br \/>\n\u2022 Audio Prewiring<br \/>\n\u2022 Rear Seat Power Outlet Integrated With Cigarette Lighter and 2 Cargo Area Power Outlets<br \/>\n\u2022 80-Amp\/Hours Battery<br \/>\n\u2022 Front and Rear Cigarette Lighters With Rear Ashtrays<br \/>\n\u2022 Delayed Power Retention Operates Windows<br \/>\n\u2022 Front Power Outlet Integrated With Cigarette Lighter<br \/>\n\u2022 Front Power Outlet Integrated With Cigarette Lighter<br \/>\n\u2022 140-Amp Alternator<\/p>\n<p>Braking &#038;
