The 2007 BMW X5 3.0si was introduced to compete in the sport utility market. The 3.0si is a member of a series of two trim levels for the X5 which include 3.0si and 4.8i. The four-door truck with its all-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for BMW. There is strong competition from vehicles from Kia.

BMW X5 Engine Specs

The restyled X5 3.0si is equipped with a BMW 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 24 valves. The engine is paired with a ZF 6-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for BMW.

The X5 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The truck uses coil and air springs front and rear respectively.

The fuel system for the 2007 X5 is a Siemens MS 70 design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 22.50 gallons.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the X5 3.0si are 76.10 inches wide by 191.10 inches long. It sits a comfortable 69.50 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 115.50 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The standard warranty period for the X5 is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sport utility market.

The listed retail price in 2007 (MSRP) was $45,900, with an invoice cost of $42,230. This price is above average of the industry average price for a four-door Sport Utility.

Fuel Efficiency

The X5 3.0si received a miles-per-gallon rating of seventeen in-city driving and twenty three when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was exceptional.

The vehicle is available in Alpine White, Black Sapphire Metallic, Deep Green Metallic, Jet Black, Mineral Green Metallic, Monaco Blue Metallic, Platinum Bronze Metallic, Space Gray Metallic, and Titanium Silver Metallic.
