2007 BMW X5 Photo Gallery

BMW X5 – Photo Gallery: When it arrives in late November, the 2007 BMW X5 will up the ante for the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) segment with a more powerful, 260-horsepower inline six, an available 350-horsepower V8, a new six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, a newly third-row seat that pushes seating capacity to seven, enthusiast goodies like Active Steering and AdaptiveDrive, and a more muscular appearance. What buyers won't find is last year's manual transmission, a third-row seat that's terribly spacious, or what would seem to be a must on any SAV – paddle shifters. Even so, those few points aren't enough to dull the shine of this remarkable vehicle, one that starts between at $46,595.
