Description
This is the BMW X5 3.0 30d xDrive SE, a car from the era when BMW still remembered that SUVs should feel properly engineered.
Big straight-six diesel up front, smooth Steptronic automatic gearbox, intelligent xDrive four-wheel drive, and enough motorway presence to make most modern crossovers feel a bit flimsy.
Powered by the legendary 3.0 diesel engine, it delivers effortless performance, huge pulling power, and surprisingly good economy for something this size. These engines are known for eating motorway miles without breaking a sweat.
And importantly, this one comes with the sort of specification people actually want:
Full opening panoramic roof, heated seats, satellite navigation, rear camera, alloy wheels, privacy glass, and two keys.
On the road it feels solid, refined, and unbelievably comfortable. This isn’t a car built for popping to the shops — it’s built for crossing continents.
It has also been extremely well maintained with extensive service history, recorded at:
17,452
35,704
52,935
69,649
75,592
83,140
87,626
95,297
99,311
110,053
That’s the kind of maintenance record you want to see on a premium six-cylinder BMW.
If you want something tiny and economical, buy a hatchback. If you want a proper luxury SUV with one of BMW’s best engines ever made, this X5 is exactly that.
