The BMW X5 (2000-07) 5DR SUV 4.8I S AUTO is a large, five-door premium SUV, combining a commanding driving position and family-friendly space with the performance-led character of a powerful petrol BMW. In the UK used market, it sits above ordinary family SUVs as an older luxury choice. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 731 look-ups covering 236 different VINs, a useful snapshot of interest in this variant. Its average private-sale valuation is £2,500, with average recorded mileage of 123,000 and around six previous keepers; recorded annual use averages 4,000 miles. These are averages, not a prediction for any individual car. This X5 suits drivers wanting family space, motorway comfort and strong acceleration, rather than low-cost commuting; its thirsty V8 petrol engine means fuel bills deserve consideration. Against rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz M-Class and Range Rover, it is known for a car-like drive, though age and condition matter greatly when buying one.
