Highlights
- YouTuber and Cars & Bids founder Doug DeMuro recently reviewed this X5, and his video is viewable below.
- This X5 features the desirable 6-speed manual transmission.
- The attached Carfax vehicle history report shows no mileage discrepancies in this X5’s past.
- According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes the Premium, Cold Weather, and Rear Climate packages, 18-inch wheels, and automatic climate control.
- Notable modifications reported by the selling dealer include a Pioneer head unit, a backup camera, and a Sprint Booster.
- BMW boldly applied its "Ultimate Driving Machine" ethos to an entirely new segment when it released the first-generation X5 for the 2000 model year. Called E53 internally, the X5 was marketed as a sport activity vehicle, not as a sport utility vehicle, and it largely lived up to this designation by offering surprising performance given its size.
- Power comes from a 3.0-liter straight-6, which produces 225 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
