The used BMW X5 wins favor
BMW continues its dominance of luxury car markets around the world as more automotive players enter the arena. Automotive technology has definitely changed exponentially in the last 50 years. With more automakers entering the global market, the competition has intensified as each automaker tries to prove itself. While it is true that most of these automakers have brought truly wonderful features to the cars they have produced, a few automakers continue to dominate the luxury divisions. One of them is the BMW. There are many brands of BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG), but one brand that has drawn attention is the x5 sport utility version.
A new x5 is a technological marvel. It took a while for BMW to join the SUV market, but when it did, it represented itself well. This statement was sent solidly through the X5, which is a next-generation sport utility vehicle.
A new x5 can cost up to $55,000.00. This can be a considerable amount and due to tough economic times many are looking for bargain prices and have therefore settled for a used BMW x5. Used versions can be just as delicious depending on actual condition and dealer. Car dealers like CarMax take special care to ensure that a used model is up to actual quality standards. This means extensive testing is done on the actual model to ensure everything is fit. A used BMW x5 can cost you between $20,000 and $45,000 depending on the features installed.
The x5 is usually a 4-door and comes with standard SUV features. It has a 32v 8 cylinder v8 engine that runs mainly on gasoline. Hybrid brands are still in the works. The exterior deviates a bit from the standard “Big Three” SUV models in that it appears to be more compact. It comes with a 5-speed or automatic transmission that features dynamic stability that allows passengers to experience some of the smoothest rides ever seen in the world of motorsports.
The interior comes with climate controlled air conditioning that employs computerized temperature monitoring. This means that the front of the car may have a completely different temperature setting than the rear seats. Some models come equipped with additional accessories, such as an auxiliary DVD player with a screen that opens like the one found inside an airplane. The sound system is Bose, giving guests an extra layer of luxury. The speakers are optical surround, which is ideal for very high quality orchestral sound.
Other features include heated seats, dual temperature controls, cruise control, and tinted windows. It also comes with ABS anti-lock brakes and dual airbags. Newer models also have side airbags. Most of the features that come pre-installed on most high-end vehicles are also standard on the X5, such as power steering, power windows, front and rear wipers, power side mirrors and the like.
The best place to buy a used BMW x5 is your local dealer. This is due to two things; One is that you can physically examine the vehicle and even take a test drive. Two is that you can take advantage of the service guarantee that is offered. eBay is also another great place.
