Here we have the very rare & desirable E53 2005 BMW X5 4.8iS with the big 4.8L N62 V8 in the beautiful Imola Red (405). Before the X5M came along, this was the rare range topping E53 X5. The truck is in excellent condition with low kilometres. It is fully loaded with all the options this original M model comes with. It has always been kept warm inside a garage. It also has a mainly clean history. When this car gets going in sport mode with the manual shifting activated, it is an absolute blast to drive. It is a 3-owner example, however the 2nd owner only owned it for an extremely short period of time due to personal reasons. It has been a Vancouver Island car for the large majority of its life. The original owner had a minor accident with it but no lingering effects, it was entirely fixed. When the current owner purchased the car it was inspected bumper-to-bumper by a long-time certified BMW mechanic and found no lingering issues from the original owner. These 4.8iS' are getting increasingly harder to find these days. They are highly desirable enthusiast SUV's, in the right color this example is one of the cleaner ones available out there. The 4.8iS started in 2004 replacing the 4.6is as the top of the line E53 X5. - 6-speed automatic transmission - Imola Red (405) over cream beige leather interior and black leather upholstery - AM/FM stereo - Logic7 sound system - 6-disc CD player - 12 speakers & subwoofer - Navigation - Bluetooth - Panorama sunroof - Air suspension with adjustable ride height - Self-leveling suspension system - Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) - Rear window shades - Power everything - Heated seats front & rear - Power adjustable front seats - Driver seat memory function - Leather-wrapped steering wheel - Heated steering wheel - Dual climate control - Rear climate controls - Hill descent control - Front & rear backup sensors; park distance control - Adaptive bi-xenon headlights with washers - Fog lights - Rear windshield wiper - Chrome exhaust tips - Large brakes - Original 20″ Style 168 wheels - Roof rails - Integrated rear spoiler - Split-folding tailgate - Black side moldings, fender extensions & side skirts - Power: 355 HP & 350 Lb-Ft of Torque - Curb Weight: 5016 lbs
