The beautiful new 2002 BMW X5 3.0i Sports Activity
Vehicle features a sporty and tough exterior yet remains
sophisticated in overall appearance. Its performance
and luxury specifications neatly reflect these characteristics
in every way.
Of course, one of the most important assets of the

an impressive 3.0-litre, 24-valve, variable-timing DOHC,
six-cylinder engine. The happy result is 225 horsepower
and 214 lbs-ft of torque.
Standard transmission is five-speed manual - excellent
for getting the most out of acceleration, especially
when merging into fast-paced traffic or when overtaking
another vehicle on the highway. Automatic transmission
is available as an option for those who prefer it.
Among the many performance features are four-wheel
full-time drive, self-leveling rear axle with air springs,
dynamic stability control, double pivot strut style
suspension, and hill descent control. A sport-calibrated
suspension is optional.
Each vehicle is equipped with seventeen-inch alloy
wheels and all-season tires. The fuel economy rating
of the BMW X5 3.0i SAV is estimated at 15/20 (city/hwy).
Safety standards are thorough and include heavy-duty
ABS brakes, halogen front fog lights, three-point seatbelts
at all seating positions, and traction control. Other

depowered air bag, and a driver depowered air bag.
Those with young families will appreciate that each
BMW X5 3.0i SAV is equipped with child safety locks

control and air conditioning, cruise control, eight-way
power adjustable driver’s seat, and a handy keyless
entry system. The leather-wrapped four-spoke power tilting
steering wheel is fitted with controls for audio, cruise,

stereo with CD player, and sit back and enjoy the convenience
of power windows, power door locks, and heated dual
power mirrors.

seating, leather gearshift knob and boot, and leather
handbrake grip and boot. Leather upholstery is available

floor.
