X3, X5 & X6 (E53, E70, E71, E83) (2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003.

I know they've done offroad testing in some of the car rags with the X5 and it's completed the testing fine. Don't know though.

Heh, when you recieve your X5 upon purchasing it, you recieve a video of how to operate your X5........well, my mom got one at least, but on the video there are some sweet shots of an X5 plowing through the sand on some off-road course

I have seen cop cars go through corn fields... doesnt say much..

and the car pretty much fell apart by the end of the movie...

it may be able to go off the paved road... but I highly doubt it could do any medium offroading - its not really built for it.. its designed for the street.. so keep it that way
