Editorial
A MODERN
DECATHLETE.
Award-winning performance, practicality, luxury, space and ef ciency.
When BMW created the rst X in 慘慘慘, it also introduced an all-new
category of vehicle: the world’s rst Sports Activity Vehicle® – a unique
blend of utility and re nement, power and performance, dynamic styling
and premium luxury. Today’s BMW X is the ultimate in comfort and
control, making every journey a rewarding experience. Its appearance
is even more noteworthy, from the contoured hood and muscular front
grille to ared wheel arches and body-color aprons. A wide variety of
models and responsive powertrains address the driver’s individual
preferences for sport-oriented performance or pure comfort. Thanks to
BMW Ef cientDynamics, the X optimizes fuel ef ciency and reduces
emissions; this is especially true in the BMW X xDrive慑d featuring
BMW’s Advanced Diesel technology. The X: a presence impossible
to ignore. A driving experience impossible to resist.

BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
Every road offers an opportunity for discovery. And no vehicle
excels at discovering these pleasurable moments quite like
the BMW Xfi. Brimming with the latest technologies, armed
with precision handling, powered by a thrilling, highly re ned
engine, the Xfi driving experience is inspiring, vigorous, and
altogether breathtaking. It’s also supremely controllable,
thanks to exceptional directional stability from a chassis and
double wishbone front suspension built for performance as
well as practicality. BMW Ef cientDynamics technologies
give it an impressive power-to-ef ciency ratio. The result is a
vehicle of unsurpassed capabilities that offers best-in-class
performance and ef ciency – especially the BMW Advanced
Diesel-powered Xfi xDrive慑fid. The BMW Xfi. Discovery
awaits at every turn.
THERE ARE MANY ROADS. IN THE X,
EACH ONE LEADS TO ADVENTURE.
06 07 Exterior

ITS LOOKS ARE NOT DECEIVING.
THEY ARE INSPIRING.
In some vehicles, looks can be misleading – powerdomes, air intakes and more added merely to give the appearance of high performance.
Not the BMW X. Every curve, every feature is there for a reason – and styled to delight the eye. From its sleek lines to its sporty, athletic
stance, this is a vehicle that demands attention. The X’s aggressive air intakes direct more air to the high-performance engines for increased
power, while centrally positioned foglights and Xenon Adaptive Headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights further distinguish the vehicle’s
distinctive front section. A matte aluminum nish, and front and rear dark underside protective cladding, allow the X to navigate unpaved
roads as easily as tarmac. The front apron is painted entirely in the vehicle’s body color to bring it visually closer to the road. Eye-catching
exterior colors, light alloy wheel designs and larger exhaust pipes complete the picture. Creating a vehicle that not only pleases the eye.
But stirs the performance-loving soul.

08 09 Exterior

Take a moment to savor the BMW Xfi’s dynamic profl le. The long wheelbase and short overhangs at the front and rear. The muscular hood and
square-shape, ared wheel arches. The contoured anks and L-shape rear taillights featuring glowing LED technology that emits horizontal light
bars, a BMW signature design. Concave and convex surfaces create an interplay of light and shadow, while wedge-shape rocker panels suggest
continual motion. But this sleekness isn’t just for aesthetics: the Xfi’s streamlined design also creates a low coeffl cient of drag for further effl ciency.
Confl dent, bold, yet still highly refl ned, this is a design of elegant composure and supreme function. From all angles, the BMW Xfi is a perfectly
proportioned work of art.
CHARISMA:
IN THE BMW X,
IT COMES
NATURALLY.
10 11 Exterior

The BMW X has an instinctive feel for the road. Tarmac, gravel,
dirt – it handles them all with ease, thanks in part to a double
joint spring strut front axle that delivers unsurpassed agility and
superior wheel control. The X includes many performanceenhancing features, such as Hill Descent Control, which holds
it to a slow set speed without having to touch the brakes down
steep hills. BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), combined
with xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive, results in optimum traction.
During hard braking, Brake Fade Compensation keeps brake
pedal action consistent, even when brakes heat up from heavy
or repeated use, such as on long downhill grades; during wet
conditions, Brake Drying brings brake pads into contact with
rotors to dry them. An array of available features take the X to
outstanding heights of control, handling and stability. Active
Steering, for example, makes parking, cornering and highwayspeed steering easier by changing the amount of steering input
needed, based on vehicle speed. Whatever terrain, surface or
traffi c you encounter, the BMW X’s confi dence in hugging the
road is matched by your confi dence behind the wheel.

COLORS OF THE BMW X5,

Red vehicles seem the fastest, while white
cars are thought of as sparkling clean. Which
colors best refl ect the spirit of the times – and Platinum Gray Metallic
the BMW X? BMW color designers have all
the answers.
Long ago, BMW color designers predicted that white
would come back into style. In many cultures, white is
considered a pure, healing shade, and this association
perfectly suits the mood of the moment. BMW color
designers also believe the current predilection for white
is no ash in the pan, either. Unlike furniture, fashion
and architecture, trends in the automotive sector tend
to be longer lasting.
The public’s growing appreciation of the natural and
the sustainable has also infl uenced BMW designers’
color selections for the X. They believe this Sports

HANDLES ROADS.
The BMW X hugs the road with a rm, confi dent grasp. The sport seats, shown above, hug the driver just as intimately. An elevated seating position
offers a commanding view of the road. And with the addition of sumptuous interior materials, the X truly becomes a sanctuary of unrivaled comfort
and taste. Personalize your BMW X with upholstery available in a wide range of colors, including Oyster or Cinnamon Brown Nevada Leather, as
well as ne wood interior trims. Elegance is met with equally impressive functionality, like the intelligently positioned storage compartments and an
instrument panel arranged for optimized ergonomics. Long trips are a breeze with -way Multi-contour seats with warming or cooling ventilation.
For even more convenience, the innovative iDrive in-dash monitor offers a central viewing area where vehicle controls and navigational information
can be monitored. This is command central and it’s yours – no matter where you’re headed.

The BMW X is as masterful in providing relaxing moments as it is rewarding to drive. The interior’s generous dimensions and
luxurious appointments create a supremely comfortable ambiance. Put down the split-folding rear seats to create up to  cu. ft.
of usable cargo space – or, when equipped with third-row seats for two, the driver can share the journey with up to six passengers.
Four-zone automatic air conditioning, including individual adjustable climate zones front and rear, adds to the enjoyment. All on
board will appreciate the sliding Panoramic glass moonroof, which opens the interior to fresh air and sunshine, and every breathtaking view of mountains or clouds. And if the scenery outside isn’t enough to keep those in the rear seats entertained, they can

FITS LIKE A GLOVE.
Exclusive, sporty and perfect down to
the last detail: the interior of the BMW X
combines the style of an elegant luxury
sedan with the athleticism of a Sports
Activity Vehicle,® while offering the
highest levels of comfort.
Our sense of touch is the most intimate of our
ve senses. And the most precise. With more
than  receptors in each of our ngertips,
we can detect superfi cial irregularities just
.-inch wide that are invisible to the naked
eye. Touch triggers emotional responses; it can
deter mine the difference between aversion and
attraction. This is why at BMW we have an entire
team of experts on hand to ensure that the interior design of every BMW is a sensory delight.
The controls of the BMW X, rendered in
Pearl Gloss chrome, look as magnifi cent as they
are exquisite to the touch. The ne grain and
coated surfaces of the high-quality, high-tech
materials used in the interior are designed to
caress your tactile sensors. And the specially
selected leather is treated with such lavish care
that its soft, supple texture is extraordinarily
long-lasting. BMW designers take particular
care to ensure that all seams are even and
harmonize with the interior design. The driver’s
and passengers’ other senses will be equally
pampered. Enjoy heated front seats and the
comfort of ventilated seats by means of circulating air through perforations in the leather.
Four-zone automatic air conditioning is
available, creating a pleasant climate for all
occupants. An elegant leather color, Oyster –
a subtle off-white shade – conveys the sense
of a generous, open area, like a contemporary
living room. This feeling of freedom and space is
enhanced by the exceptionally large Panoramic
glass moonroof. In short: the interior of the
BMW X is a uniquely pleasurable experience
for all the senses.

Right up against the edge of the Arctic Circle –  degrees  minutes
north,  degrees  minutes east – winter temperatures hover well below

long before it disappears again under the gray horizon.
A pretty desolate region. But suddenly, the dry powder explodes into the
frosty air as a BMW X sweeps around the bend. The speed is breathtaking on the icy-smooth surface, a road whose contours can only be
guessed at beneath the enveloping white. These are the winter tests in
Lapland, in northern Sweden – the frozen extremity of Europe – where
each BMW is sent to prove that it can function perfectly, even under
