The first
BMW X5 3.0i
was released in 2003 as part of the first generation. And fun fact—the X5 was actually the very first SUV ever produced by BMW!
The 2003 BMW X5 is a midsize luxury crossover SUV that comes in three trims: 3.0i, 4.4i, and 4.6is. But since you’re considering the 3.0i trim, we’ll take a closer look at this sporty SUV.
The X5 3.0i comes equipped with a robust 3.0-liter DOHC inline 6-cylinder engine that boasts 225 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque.
The original BMW X5 3.0i comes standard with all-wheel drive and two transmission options, either a five-speed manual or a Steptronic five-speed automatic that can also be shifted manually. Several great safety features are also included like emergency braking assistance, a post-collision safety system, and a remote anti-theft alarm system.
Regardless if you decide to purchase a newer BMW or a used one like the 2003 BMW X5 3.0i,
