The Appeal

It's often proclaimed that the original X5 is what really brought about the golden age of the sporty SUV, and to this day, it's synonymous with an executive-level 4x4. The second generation of the car was dedicated to evolving an already winning formula, and resulted in a huge increase of boot space, refinement of the already plush interior and, of course, all of the creature comforts a discerning driver would expect in its day.

This fabulous example comes to us with an impressive service history, having been cosseted by all three of its keepers. These cars are well known for comfortably sapping up the miles, so this one's odometer reading of only 72,531 miles is a particularly admirable one.

The X5 is the definition of a modern classic, and if you're after an eminently useful, drivable 4x4, you'll have trouble finding a better prospect. This one isn't to be missed!

The vendor says:

"It’s a hell of a lot of car for not huge money & still cuts a dash today with those undeniable good looks. It has considerable kerb appeal, done no harm at all by the blue and black propellor badge it wears. They do say BMW is the ultimate driving machine after all."
