2011 BMW X5 Overview

Price Range: $45,800 to $58,400

If there are two things the Germans really know how to do when it comes to building cars, it is to make them über-fast and totally efficient.  Both traits are on display in the restyled and revised 2011 BMW X5 full-size SUV.

The 2011 X5 comes in various trim levels and packages that offer everything to everyone—including standard all-wheel drive, or as BMW refers to it: xDrive.  The base xDrive35i utilizes a new 300-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 300 pounds-feet of torque which pumps out a 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds.  If that isn’t enough power, the xDrive50i boasts a 400-horsepower, twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 with 450 pounds-feet of torque, and reaches 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.  Both the xDrive35i and xDrive50i are mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission.  The 2011 X5 also features a 265-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine, which is mated to a six-speed automatic in the xDrive35d.

In an effort to increase fuel-efficiency, BMW has employed a new Brake Energy Regeneration system on the 2011 X5, which recharges the battery during braking or coasting and is expected to save one to two percent on fuel consumption.  That raises the fuel estimates for the X5 to 14-19 mpg in the city and 20-26 mpg on the highway.  The aforementioned power and efficiency stacks up nicely against the Mercedes-Benz M- and G-Class, Acura MDX and Audi Q7.

Although the 2011 X5 has more than 4,000 new parts compared to the 2010 model, changes to the exterior and and overall appearance are fairly subtle.  Most of the changes appear on the rear fascia with a reshaped lower bumper, revised tailpipes, and a second row of LED back lights.  The X5 sits on 18-inch alloy wheels with 19-inch wheels as optional equipment.

On the inside, the 2011 BMW X5 seating for five is standard, while an optional third-row brings overall capacity to seven occupants. The second and third rows fold forward to accommodate additional cargo, and you can opt for heated front and second-row seats, a panoramic moonroof, iPod/USB adaptor and power tailgate among many other features.  The available iDrive system has been updated and revamped with more shortcut keys, better graphics and improved menu functionality. For an enhanced driving experience the AdaptDrive electronically controlled suspension system designed to improve vehicle cornering is available on the xDrive35i Sport Activity trim.

The 2011 BMW X5 is equipped with the latest in modern safety technologies, including all-disc antilock brakes, an electronic stability system, side curtain airbags for the first and second rows, front side-impact airbags and curtain airbags for the optional third-row.  Park Distance Control, automatic high beams, rearview camera with Top View and BMW Assist (which connects you with roadside assistance) are optional.

With a winning combination of luxury, cargo and passenger capacity, and off-road capability, the 2011 BMW X5 stands alone in its segment and raises the bar for the competition.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
