BMW introduced its first-generation X5 for the 2000 model year, positioning it as a sport activity vehicle (SAV), designed to offer impressive performance capabilities despite its size. Powered by a 4.8-liter V8 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, this 2005 BMW X5 4.8is is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over black Nappa leather upholstery, and equips a panoramic glass roof, 20” Style 168 alloy wheels, the Cold Weather and Sport packages, and more. Showing approximately 120k kilometers (under 75k miles) on the odometer, this example is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Canada.
The interior features black Nappa leather upholstery with Graphite Metallic trim and an Anthracite headliner, complemented by a panoramic glass roof. Amenities include a leather multifunction steering wheel, comfort seats with heating, memory, adjustable backrests, a rearview mirror with a digital compass, rear sunshades, and Parking Distance Control (PDC). The seller has observed wear on the front seats, one dislodged vent blade (still functional), and one damaged window curtain; however, all other gauges, accessories, and electronics are in proper working condition without any illuminated warning lights.
As the flagship X5 variant, it is powered by a robust 4.8-liter N62 V8 engine, delivering a factory-rated 355 HP and 360 lb.-ft of torque to all four wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with a self-leveling air suspension featuring performance-oriented settings. The seller notes that the vehicle has undergone routine maintenance, including transmission service, differential and transfer case fluids replacement, and engine oil changes using synthetic oil exclusively. Additionally, maintenance records indicate the replacement of Bosch spark plugs, a water pump and system flush, an alternator, and its corresponding bracket. The air suspension compressor and transfer case have also been replaced. Brakes were serviced at all corners approximately one month ago.
