Have you had a chance to scope the most recent series of advertisements to emerge from our beloved Bavarian brand's creative team? They're promoting the 2015 BMW X5, but it's the SUV's third-row passenger - a spunky, sarcastic senior - that sort of steals the show. Wondering what we at BMW of Salem are hinting at here? Well, then, watch the video below to find out:
While the entry-level X5 - with its 300-horsepower turbocharged six-cylinder - is certainly nothing to sneeze, it is for the range-topping xDrive50i model that our hearts skip a beat. Powered by a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8, this X5 dishes out a dazzling 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque.
It is at this point that you may be thinking: "Those performance specs don't seem typical for an SUV." And you'd be spot-on; for, you see, the xDrive50i is no typical SUV. For all intents and purposes, it's a sports car built upon the frame of a utility hauler. And that, in and of itself, is pretty darn amazing.
For more information about this charismatic crossover, or to take the wheel of one, we invite you to swing by our Salem, OR showroom. Our seasoned staff is available to address your every question regarding the extraordinary X5, or any other BMW model that's caught your eye.
