First Look: 2011 BMW X5
2011 BMW X5 SUV - First Look - Automobile Magazine
Along with an exterior refresh, the 2011 BMW X5 receives two new powertrains.

A 400-hp twin-turbo V-8 headlined the X6, while the M versions of it and the X5 boasted a silly 555 hp. Now, the standard X5 gets its turn: Along with an exterior refresh, the 2011 BMW X5 receives two new powertrains.inline_mediumwraptextright26792627/features/news/1002_2011_bmw_x52011-BMW-x5-front-promo.jpgTrue
