www.bahrainthismonth.com March 2014 105 Euro Motors has confirmed that customers in the Middle East can now purchase the all-new BMW X5 with a second engine variant — the BMW XDrive35i. Building on the success of BMW X5 xDrive50i that was launched in the Kingdom late last year, the new sports activity vehicle will further diversify the BMW Group importer’s offering in Bahrain. Established back in 1999, the first generation BMW X5 was the first vehicle of its kind to combine superior dynamics on road with impressive off road characteristics thanks to BMW’s xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system. Since its inception the BMW X5 has been the absolute market leader in the sports activity vehicle segment, and one of BMW’s best-selling model series, accounting for almost a third of all its models sold globally. Commenting on the new vehicle, Euro Motors general manager Paul Yates said, “The BMW X5 continues to perform exceptionally in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Since we launched the new model last year, we have witnessed a renewed demand for the vehicle. A true leader in its class, the BMW X5 continues to raise the bar and set new standards in the sports activity segment. Launching the new BMW XDrive35i will help us further cater to our clients’ needs.” Now in its third generation, the BMW X5 is once again expected to set new standards with its evolutionary design features, spacious interior and increased driving comfort. In addition, for the first time, the X5 is available with a choice of new suspension packages. These include the Adaptive Suspension Comfort, Dynamic, Professional and Adaptive M Suspension, all of which provides further enhanced ride comfort. The exterior design of the new BMW X5 combines the X hallmark characteristics with the power, presence and sportiness of classic BMW models. It features an expressive front-end look with twin circular headlights extending into the new broad-set kidney-shaped grille. From the rear, new aeroblades can be seen along with a newly shaped rectangular exhaust pipe and accentuated lights for a more distinctive look. A more luxurious interior environment is available with a selection of high quality leather and trims, atmospheric lighting options and increased spaciousness. In addition, an optional third row of seats will turn the new BMW X5 into a seven-seater. The outer seats in the second row can be tilted far towards the front, making it easy to access the two additional seats. The vehicle also delivers a first-class rear entertainment system delivered by separate 9.2-inch colour screens with a DVD drive. The BMW X5 xDrive35i engine features TwinPower Turbo technology, a direct injection system, fully variable valve control and double VANOS variable camshaft timing. This delivers 306hp to the X5’s wheels and propels the vehicle from 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds. Additionally, BMW EfficientDynamics features ensure that the new BMW X5 is faster and more efficient than ever. The Driving Experience Control switch is fitted as standard with Comfort, Dynamic and Professional adaptive suspension packages and Adaptive M suspension, which can be specified to enhance the car’s sporty handling properties and ride comfort.
