BMW X5
We were looking forward to a complete makeover for the X5 for 2010, but it isn’t the case. But while we wait, let’s look at the new maniacal M version with its 555 horsepower V8 engine, which transforms the utility vehicle into a real sports car. This versatile German vehicle boasts a luxurious interior, original accessories, as well as the possibility to become a rolling parlour. But on a more reasonable note, it is now possible to get a diesel engine-equipped X5.
